The basic meaning is "we felt the ground heaving". The words "and hoeing" have been added for decorative effect, based on the expression "heave-ho!". This is a cry exhorting someone to pull something (e.g. a rope) forcefully, where "ho" is probably just an instinctive exclamation alliterative with "heave".
