hoed
Worked the garden
Hoed is the past tense of hoe, meaning to use a hoe—a long-handled garden tool with a flat blade—to break up soil, remove weeds, or cultivate ground: She hoed the vegetable garden before planting.
The word sometimes appears figuratively for any tedious, repetitive labor: We hoed through the paperwork all afternoon.
