11d SEETHED looks fine.

Anagram of "the seed".

thanks - so would 15 ac be "DEPARTS" - but why?

[Rollo]

DEPARTS is an anagram of

SPREAD plus T (for table top)

thanks - any ideas about if the last one is prompted or promoted ? - they both fit and both mean encouraged but i cant get the rest of the clue?
