Your share of vegetable patch? (9)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
allotment
'patch?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'your share of vegetable' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'share' could be 'allot' (I've seen this before) and 'allot' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'ment' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for allotment that I've seen before include "patch" , "Plot for cultivation" , "Share - small piece of land rented for cultivation" , "Distribution of shares" , "Piece of land let out for cultivation" .)
