I think i can attribute that to two reasons 1) normally cryptic clues also consider a description of the word in question accompanied by word puzzle or an anagram. While this is the standard format, i could not use it because, The field of homes is a small subset of the english language/lexicon which makes it very easy to guess the answers once the description is present. 2) my inexperience in framing clues :) hope the direct clues of today are easy. If people want this format of cryptic clues on one day followed by dirct clues on the other, or the level of difficulty of the questions to be changed, please feel free to comment.

May have gotten about 2-3 answers. Perhaps it's because I have not done cryptic clue crosswords before, which I hear requires some practice. Hopefully, the direct clues will be easier to crack.
