Weeds, wild 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 don't understand how they can define each other.
'weeds wild' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'weeds' anagrammed gives 'SWEDE'.
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for swede that I've seen before include "in Northern Europe" , "A turnip, or a Scandinavian" , "N European" , "Northern European" , "Large root vegetable" .)
