Anyhow, worms have a right to get into vegetables! (7)
I believe the answer is:
marrows
'vegetables' is the definition.
(marrow is a kind of vegetable)
'anyhow worms have a right to get' is the wordplay.
'anyhow' indicates an anagram.
'have' says to put letters next to each other.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'to get' indicates putting letters inside.
'worms'+'a'='wormsa'
'wormsa' is an anagram of 'marows'.
'marows' placed around 'r' is 'MARROWS'.
'into' acts as a link.
(Another definition for marrows that I've seen is " Vegetables".)
I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
