Nothing difficult about raising crops in the front garden (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

orchard

'garden' is the definition.
(I know that orchard is a type of garden)

'nothing difficult about raising crops in the front' is the wordplay.
'nothing' becomes 'O' (looks like zero - 0).
'difficult' becomes 'hard' (synonyms).
'about' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'in the front' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'raising crops' is 'rc'.
'hard' after 'rc' is 'rchard'.
'o'+'rchard'='ORCHARD'

(Other definitions for orchard that I've seen before include "Enormous" , "Fruit tree plantation" , "Trees bearing apples perhaps" , "Plot for fruit trees" , "In which one may pick apples" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
