Having the means to grow shabby? (5)
I believe the answer is:
seedy
'shabby?' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for seedy that I've seen before include "Unfit" , "Like some cakes" , "Dilapidated" , "Pip is" , "Unseemly" .)
