Needs a tutorial – Field Day Review

Believe it or not! I agree with the person who says just because the game is simple, not everyone will understand. This game is played at a snail’s pace and any permanent progress you could make is made very, very slowly. That’s why I’m starting to get upset that twice I’ve earned a special seed from the mayor’s missions and I have no clue what I’m supposed to do with it. The little yellow veggie/fruit that looks a bit like a bell pepper was the first time I ever saw the watering mechanic appear on this game, and the game did not tell me what to do with it. I thought I understood that I must keep the water level between the goal lines by the time the crop has completed growing, yet it is possible for the timer to run out and the crop to still only be 74% watered/completed, or something to that effect. Then I sell the crop and it’s gone forever. No option to replant. Is this by design? Is it intentional? Is it because I failed to grow the crop to 100%? I have no idea, but wish I did. I’ve looked everywhere online but haven’t been able to find the explanation for how this works. I have also searched all over the game but have not found a settings menu with a tutorial. Please tell me if I’m missing something. This is only so confusing and frustrating as I said because progress is made so slowly in this game, and those plants come along so rarely. It’s a little upsetting to have had it twice and failed to grow it twice because of unclear instruction.
