31. Wooden tool working sphere
37. Narrow bit pate serving dish
39. Five in one go!

Thanks.

1. Plantain

Thank you both ... can you explain how you get Plantain please?

[Mojo-Jo-Jo]

put in the ground = plant. Ain = own in Scottish dialect.

Put in the ground=plant
ian is sctch for own

[RECA123]

I am really trying to learn how to work out clues like these but do not think I would ever have worked out the plantain answer.

[shooty]

ain, not ian : )

[RECA123]

Oh that is clever. I was so sure it must need "berry" in the answer I couldn't think of anything else.
Thank you SO much for your help.

What is a "mel" please? (and don't say a wooden tool! ;) )

Type of hammer

Thanks for the explanation. Got to admit I could never have found that answer as I am not able to find a mel hammer anywhere so thank you for the amazing answer ... it certainly would have defeated me.
