Have only three clues to find out and then finished. Please can someone help me finish the crossword so that I can get my life back on course. Thanks in advance for any help given. 6D Fruit beginning to ripen, therefore put in puree? (7) I have S?U?S??. All I can get out of this is squishy but if it is this why? 20A Plain stage at front of gym (6) ?T???E. 22D Around noon Filipino gets to go with the flow. (3,5) ?A? ALONG. Is this TAG along or RAN along? I can't see how it can be any of these, an explanation would be appreciated.

6d) SOURSOP - beginning to ripen = R, therefore = SO, puree = SOUP

20a) STEPPE - stage = STEP, gym = P.E.

22d) TAG ALONG - noon = N, filipino = TAGALOG

[dr b]

soursop, R + so put in soup

[cathfromsaron]

tag alo(n)g = filipino language
