Crossword Genius

Harvested a variety of red pea (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reaped

'harvested' is the definition.
('reap' can be a synonym of 'harvest')

'a variety of red pea' is the wordplay.
'a variety of' is an anagram indicator.
'red'+'pea'='redpea'
'redpea' anagrammed gives 'REAPED'.

(Other definitions for reaped that I've seen before include "Gleaned like harvest" , "Gathered, harvested" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
