I like the artstyle and the lore. Cross breeding pepper to get new ingredients is a good idea on pepper (:D) but I feel like I just plant some seeds and furiously click on the calendar, hoping to have the intended result as time passes.

Well if you ask me to be the idea guy ! :p
I would have done cross-breeding by surroundings one pepper with different colors, as it is (kinda) done in Nier Replicant.
Player would for example plant one blue pepper, surrond it with 2 yellow peppers or more and the next day the blue pepper would become a green one.
So a day in the game would be "plant seed and try combination" and then the player click next day with all the new pepper already grown out.
