There should be no issues here, unless you have zero knowledge of gardening. I wouldn’t exactly describe myself as an expert, and I still solved this Strands puzzle with a minimum of fuss.
I was helped by the word GLOVES standing out immediately in the bottom right of the board; that then led to RAKE, and together with the theme clue of ‘Tools for the job’ it was obvious what was needed. The spangram, YARDWORK, foxed me a little because it’s not a phrase you hear in the UK, where I’m based; we’d call it gardening. But overall this was one of the easier days for Strands.
