Took in why the gardener kept tools in their garage? (6)
I believe the answer is:
noshed
'took in' is the definition.
(noshing is a kind of taking in)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for noshed that I've seen before include "had food" , "tucked in" , "Put away" , "Ate - hens do (anag)" .)
