Do you ever keep forgetting to do something a certain way until after you goof

it up? Root crops that spread out (think potatoes, not carrots), I know darn well I should use a compost pitchfork, but I used a shovel on my sunchokes. Right after I used the shovel and cut through the roots, I thought, "You ding-a-ling, you know better than that". On the next sunchoke, I used the compost pitchfork and the sunchokes (aka Jerusalem artichokes) came up great. I have stabbed one or two with a pitchfork before, but that's better than what a shovel does to them. I only harvested two because I had 6 plants and I want 4 of them to multiply some more ( I hope). Most of the roots were light brown, but one was really new and it was white with some light tan markings. It was fully grown (for my soil any way). I sliced them thin and put them in hot oil. They ended up tasting like potato chips. Have you ever done something you know better than to do? It seems like I do that with gardening and foraging a lot because months go by before I do it again. Like going out foragaing without anything to put food in (plastic bags, or paper bags, or bowls) or forgetting a knife or something. So what do you often forget?
