Long-handled garden tool (3)
I believe the answer is:
hoe
'long-handled garden tool' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for hoe that I've seen before include "Weed" , "Garden tool with a flat blade" , "Weeder" , "Garden tool for scraping up weeds" , "Purple gem" .)
