Tangle of weeds in the vegetable garden (5)
I believe the answer is:
swede
'the vegetable garden' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how one could define the other.
'tangle of weeds' is the wordplay.
'tangle of' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen 'tangle' mean this).
'weeds' is an anagram of 'SWEDE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swede that I've seen before include "Strindberg, for example" , "Large root vegetable" , "Root vegetable - European" , "Nobel for one" , "Someone from Gothenburg" .)
