[Evian]

Help please with 4 down. Forcibly removes drop to drink 5 and 2 letters

I have t?a?s   ?p

Could it be tears up?

Thanks for any  help

[newmodarmy]

tear sup= tears up

[Canary42]

Yes

drop = TEAR

to drink = SUP

Forcibly remove = TEARS UP

[Toorak]

Yes  - tear (drop) sup (drink)

[newmodarmy]

I'm not clear how forcibly removes = tears up though.

[newmodarmy]

I suppose you can tear up a carpet

I agree, "forcibly removes" at first doesn't seem to be the best definition, but being "The Garden" I suppose it is a good fit for tearing up plants for example.
