(hoe one's (own) row)
идти своим путём, заниматься своим делом, действовать самостоятельно [первонач. амер.]

He missed his wife awfully, but - one must hoe one's row, and he would rather she stayed with her people than force herself to rough it out there with him. (J. Galsworthy, ‘Caravan’, ‘The Man Who Kept His Form’) — Он ужасно скучал по жене, но что ж поделаешь - у каждого своя доля, и он предпочел, чтобы она осталась со своими родными, а не приезжала обратно делить с ним все неудобства местной жизни.
