Listener 4150 - Garden Scraps by Colleague

A rapid grid fiil brings the reward of a visit to the sherry decanter before attempting to make sense of the preamble. It's a risky strategy, but someone has to try it.
On reflection, I think I boobed on Colleague's offering last year, so more care needed this time (and perhaps less sherry).

I don't know about your being pedants - I just love the crazy banter. Thanks Contendo and Cruciverbalist, I arrived at a suitable compromise of 2-tone cells and letters on one side and 1-tone letters with a line round the relevant number of cells on the other. I hope that JEG will look with favour. I would hate to fall at this hurdle in yet another attempt (probably failed) for all correct in a year. We do have to have ambitions to keep going, don't we? Looking forward to 16.00.

I think not looking forward to 16:00, as the number puzzle is due this week I believe.

Time for the pedants' revolt methinks

Filled the grid. Got the theme - unless there is a bluff? No idea yet what to do next.

We have developed a new technique clearly. Post to say we are stuck and PDM arrives almost immediately. Finished. Tips re thinking visually and re the ambiguity/deception in the preamble helped a lot.
