Answer concerning small garden feature (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

respond

'answer' is the definition.
(I know that answer can be written as respond)

'concerning small garden feature' is the wordplay.
'concerning' becomes 're' (both can mean on a particular topic).
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'garden feature' becomes 'pond' (I've seen this in another clue).
're'+'s'+'pond'='RESPOND'

(Other definitions for respond that I've seen before include "React (positively) to a stimulus or treatment" , "Write back" , "Answer or react" , "Come back" , "Answer back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
