Holds some lush asparagus (3)
I believe the answer is:
has
'holds' is the definition.
('have' can be a synonym of 'hold')
'some lush asparagus' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'HAS' is hidden within 'lush asparagus'.
(Other definitions for has that I've seen before include "suffers from" , "Possesses or owns" , "Owns, holds" , "Gives birth to" , "Cheats" .)
