I wonder what "carrying" means in this sentence:
"Tumbled about among the spread nets and the glass frames sparkling and winking in the sun, there were such heaps of drooping pods, and marrows, and cucumbers, that every foot of ground appeared a vegetable treasury, while the smell of sweet herbs and all kinds of wholesome growth (to say nothing of the neighbouring meadows where the hay was carrying ) made the whole air a great nosegay. "

Perhaps meaning the seed heads were forming, as fruit trees are said to "bear".
