Aries Cryptic #22

Here's the first cryptic of 2020! This puzzle started with 22-Down, which also happened to be the test solvers' favorite clue. I also enjoy the 12-Across and 28-Across clues, as they feature wordplay techniques that aren't so common in cryptics. Hope you enjoy!

Great job, Andrew! Lots of great clues. I love the one for 24A -- not very hard, but wonderful thematic consistency.

Rows Garden Instructions

Answers fit in a Rows Garden puzzle in two ways: Rows and Blooms. Each Row, with the exception of the top and bottom Rows, will have two entries consecutively; the first clue starts at the far left, and the starting point of the second clue is for you to determine. The top and bottom Rows are a single entry, spanning the nine spaces provided. Intersecting these Rows are six-letter Blooms, segmented by the shade of the center dot: Light, Medium, and Dark. These answers can be placed clockwise or counterclockwise, and their starting points are left for you to determine.

Currently, Aries Rows Garden puzzles as well as free Rows Gardens are offered in four unique levels of difficulty, described below.

Hardest: No notations/enumerations are provided. Blooms clues are listed alphabetically.

Harder: Multi-word and hyphenated words are indicated. The answer FOR EXAMPLE would be notated (2 words). Blooms clues are listed alphabetically.

Easier: Multi-word and hyphenated words are indicated. FOR EXAMPLE would be notated (2 words). Blooms clues are listed in grid order, left to right and top to bottom.

Easiest: Enumerations are provided. FOR EXAMPLE would be notated (3, 7). Blooms clues are listed in grid order, left to right and top to bottom.
