Stupidly hacking tender edible plants grown here (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
kitchen garden
'edible plants grown here' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'stupidly hacking tender' is the wordplay.
'stupidly' is an anagram indicator (a stupid ordering of the letters).
'hacking'+'tender'='hackingtender'
'hackingtender' with letters rearranged gives 'KITCHEN GARDEN'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for kitchen garden that I've seen before include "Source of fresh veg" , "Where vegetables etc are grown for one's own use" , "veg grown here" , "Area of growth" , "Vegetable plot" .)
