Vegetable seed scattered around bottom of hedgerow (5)
I believe the answer is:
swede
'vegetable' is the definition.
(I know that swede is a type of Root vegetables)
'seed scattered around bottom of hedgerow' is the wordplay.
'scattered' indicates an anagram.
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bottom of' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'hedgerow' is 'w'.
'seed' anagrammed gives 'sede'.
'sede' going around 'w' is 'SWEDE'.
(Other definitions for swede that I've seen before include "Cattle fodder" , "Citizen of kingdom" , "Weeds out to get turnip" , "plant" , "Foreigner" .)
