18, yes, LEAVES = foliage

35, squabbles = RHUBARBS, lose the sting = BARB

Thanks Buddy,

I see 35 but what is the wordplay for 18a, is it an anagram "several" minus the R, if so where is the instruction to remove the R? and if the anagram indicator is "bananas" why is "take out" in the there?

R = Recipe, Latin for take. So "take out" = remove the R.

Oh my, I wouldn't have got that in a million years!

You're an absolute star Buddy, thank you so much.

Great puzzle.

Brendan

I agree with your comments about this brilliant puzzle.

We are now used to finding that bit extra, and so I have highlighted a ninth cell in a rather pale colour. Very neat that the initial letter is just displaced from the eight by one cell.

Very nice thematic itle also!

Ahhh! That's a great theory Jigjag,

I wondered why the the guy's initial letter was so close to the eight - I really hope it's correct, it would make a fantastic final touch:-)
