'weed on the turf?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both plants as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'to begin with chelsea fan' is the wordplay.
'to begin with' indicates taking the first letters.
'fan' becomes 'lover' (synonyms).
The first letter of 'chelsea' is 'c'.
'c'+'lover'='CLOVER'
