Where the retired gardener may be found working? (2,3)
I believe the answer is:
in bed
'where' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are adverbs. Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'the retired gardener may be found working?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'be' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'ind' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for in bed that I've seen before include "Lying, possibly" , "Retired?" , "Not yet up" , "as 15 Down [GARDENERS] may be?" , "10 [AT REST] ," .)
