Cultivated grapes, for instance, in solid frame without soil? (6)
I believe the answer is:
farmed
'cultivated' is the definition.
(farming is a kind of cultivating)
'grapes for instance in solid frame without soil?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
an anagram of 'frame' is 'farme' which is present in the answer.
A single letter 'd' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for farmed that I've seen before include "Fish may be produced thus" , "Cultivated" , "Worked with land or animals" , "Husbanded the land" , "Used land to produce" .)
