So here is another. Again I've used a Times Quick Crossword grid and, I hope, not been too devious with the clues, trying to match a QC difficulty and provide a variety of clue types. There is a theme (for which the title is a clue) that may assist once you spot it. One clue (7D) needs you to identify our gardener as it refers to her. One final hint - it helps to know your nursery rhymes. [Update - several solvers were still fooled, so I've added a more specific cross-reference to the clue].
You can try and solve it interactively here or download a PDF to print here. Alternatively you can copy and print the image below.
Once you've given it a go, you can find the answers and their explanation here. Please do leave some comments here or there. Enjoy! (I hope!).
Thanks John for a fairly easy one, except I didn't get ARMY!
ReplyDeleteBTW, there is no such word as "horticulturalist"!
You had me worried there, so I checked, but horticulturalist is in my copy of Chambers.
DeleteAh! I don't have Chambers. Sorry I made you fret.
