Ah, Rina,
I'm still stuck on these two, plus another four.

I'm hoping someone can give me the answers Rina worked out for herself, plus :
24D - Watch for one minnow (4, 4)
?M?L? T????
(presumably SMALL T????) but I can't get it.

Stevie Gee, Thanks

This answer ties in with a theory I had about 40A.

Not too happy with clue, though. Who on earth ever called a minnow a small timer?

29a "Looks to include introduction or root crops" (6)

G?A?E? I see that GRAZES has been given here as the answer, but I'd originally had GRAPES and am wondering if this could also work?

Any help much appreciated

GAZES is better for "looks" than GAPES, I think. GRAZES is "crops" as a verb, of course.
