Fruit sown occasionally in oriental bed (5)
I believe the answer is:
futon
'oriental bed' is the definition.
'futon' can be an answer for 'bed' (type of bed). I'm not sure about the 'oriental' bit.
'fruit sown occasionally' is the wordplay.
'occasionally' means one should take alternating letters.
'fruit'+'sown'='fruitsown'
The alternating letters of 'fruitsown' are 'FUTON'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for futon that I've seen before include "Padded mattress for sleeping on the floor" , "Japanese sofa bed" , "A Japanese mattress-bed" , "Mattress used as a bed or sofa" , "Japanese quilted mattress used as bed" .)
