Furrow where nothing gets planted in orchard (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

groove

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'furrow' is the definition.
(I know that furrow can be written as groove)

'nothing gets planted in orchard' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'nothing' could be 'o' (looks like zero - 0) and 'o' is located in the answer.
'orchard' could be 'grove' (synonyms) and 'grove' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'where' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for groove that I've seen before include "feature on an old disc" , "in which needle was once employed?" , "Long narrow furrow" , "Long narrow channel or kind of rut" , "Kind of furrow or rut" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
