Garden producing fruit, alternatively some veg (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orchard

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

'garden producing fruit' is the definition.
I know that 'fruit' relates to this answer.

'alternatively some veg' is the wordplay.
'alternatively' becomes 'or'.
'some veg' becomes 'chard' (chard is a type of vegetable).
'or'+'chard'='ORCHARD'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for orchard that I've seen before include "Enormous" , "It produces fruit" , "Plot for fruit trees" , "In which one may pick apples" , "Source of fruit" .)
