Spoil lines of squashes (7)
I believe the answer is:
marrows
'squashes' is the definition.
(marrow is a kind of squash)
'spoil lines' is the wordplay.
'spoil' becomes 'mar' (synonyms).
'lines' becomes 'rows' (row is a kind of line).
'mar'+'rows'='MARROWS'
'of' acts as a link.
(Another definition for marrows that I've seen is " Vegetables".)
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
