Non-coder used Claude to run an entire sweet potato season, from greenhouse to sensors

A self-described non-technical user (Claude had to explain what a terminal is) spent a full growing season working with Claude — planning the greenhouse in March via the Claude app and project folders, then connectors, CoWork and Claude Code. He set up sensors, built a harness that pulls weather data and recommends watering and fertilizing, and used spreadsheets, small tracking apps, cron jobs and data analysis along the way. Result: more data collected, more seedlings, and apparently more sweet potatoes than ever, plus the most fun he's had getting his hands dirty.
