Almost a month before the beds bear fruit (8)
I believe the answer is:
apricots
'bear fruit' is the definition.
'apricots' can be an answer for 'fruit' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'bear' bit.
'almost a month before the beds' is the wordplay.
'almost' becomes 'i' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a month' becomes 'apr' (abbreviation for April).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the beds' becomes 'cots' (cot is a kind of bed).
'i' after 'apr' is 'apri'.
'apri'+'cots'='APRICOTS'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for apricots that I've seen before include "Orange fruit" , "Tip Oscar to get the fruits" , "Rio pacts produce the fruit" , "Rio pacts about the fruits" , "Car is top (anag.)" .)
