Shifty producers of damson squash (6)
I believe the answer is:
nomads
'shifty producers' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
'damson squash' is the wordplay.
'squash' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'damson' is an anagram of 'NOMADS'.
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for nomads that I've seen before include "They travel all year round" , "Homeless types" , "They wander" , "Itinerants" , "Vagrant peoples" .)
