There's a bunch of stuff with only one option in the radial menu. They shouldn't even use menus for these, should be a simple rightclick and the game performs the default action.

Speaking of which, isn't it better to have a small textbox that shows you what action will be done with you mouse over "one option" objects, like crops (to harvest).
This way, you know if your going to click on the right thing anyways...

A Box that can show two things:
[Object/Character Name] and [Action with right click]

If it has more than 1 options to do action with, it will simply say interact in the box...\


Example:

If your holding a boat and mouse over the blueberry, it'll say [Blueberry | Place (Boat)].

A little vague but you get the idea, it basically indicate what that button will do, and lets you know if your able to click on a tiny object (like a baby chick).
[Chicken | Grab]

Who cares if it lets botters figure out what things are, since it really make things convenient for players to know what that "little pile of pixel" is.

To add to the new LP system, maybe the name of characters and items are "???" Until you discover it.

Too much faffing about, I'd rather drop the boat :P

yes, this would work

that way you don't have to rightclick each crop if you are not sure it is ready - the finished crops will have a popup when you mousehover them
