Haul back out of the garden (4)

I believe the answer is:
drag
This clue could be a double definition.
'haul' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'back out of the garden' is the second definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drag that I've seen before include "car" , "Pull along; pass slowly" , "Tow" , "Haul - a bore!" , "Short smoke" .)
