Tends to an overgrown garden (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

weeds

(Other definitions for weeds that I've seen before include "Black garments once worn by widows" , "Are they worn by widows in the garden?" , "mourning clothes" , "Wild plants; mourning garb" , "Unwanted plants" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
