Dashiel Hammett may have been harder boiled, his plots more intricate but, wow, does Raymond Chandler have style. The push and pull at the start of The Big Sleep between private detective Philip Marlowe, in his powder-blue suit and dark blue shirt, and Miss Carmen Sternwood, with her “little sharp predatory teeth” and lashes that she lowers and raises like a theatre curtain, sets the tone for a story of bad girls and bad men.
The only novel written by the poet Sylvia Plath is a semi-autobiographical account of a descent into depression that the book s narrator Esther Greenwood describes as like being trapped under a bell jar used to create a vacuum in scientific experiments struggling to breathe.

Gardening: Awaken Your Inner Hedge Witch
I messaged my oldest friend, Tryphena, the other night. She recently moved home after spending a couple of years being an eco- warrior for DOC on Rēkohu-Chatham Islands. “How is life back in the Big Smoke?” I asked, which is a dorky joke because she lives in Napier and I’m the one who lives in “the Big Smoke” of Auckland, except now that I’m middle-aged and live in the suburbs and only venture into town occasionally, and then am excited when I do, I’m not really a Big Smoke kind of lady any more. Tryphena replied that she was loving being back with family and friends but that the busyness of life was making her tired, and that she was missing her island paradise. “I’ve been gardening, though,” she said “I’m making an archway out of poisonous oleander.”
And that is exactly why we’ve been friends since we were 12. Because a friendship between kindred spirits will endure for a lifetime despite distance and years living in different places. You see, I too wove an archway not so long ago. We are in sync.
It was during last year’s August-December lockdown, when life in Tāmaki Makaurau was like being under a friendly house arrest, with supermarket visits and picnics with friends to break up the monotony. Thankfully, it was spring, and the arrival of creamy-white ‘Thalia’ daffodils and rhubarb-and-custard-coloured ‘Camargue’ tulips decorated my days, and I inhabited my garden more than I normally have time to do, sitting outside drinking tea, getting to know a resident blackbird family, and pulling weeds while on long phone calls to my mum. One afternoon, I pruned back a pink abutilon – the plant we once more commonly referred to as “Chinese lanterns”, because they have pretty papery bell-shaped flowers. I’d been planning on making a garden arch for a while, and the long, supple prunings made ideal material for weaving into one. . . okay, I did cheat and use a little bit of wire. My abutilon archway marks the entrance to a pebbled garden with six raised beds in which I grow vegetables, herbs and flowers. Technically, you could say it’s a potager, although I always feel a bit pretentious when I say that word aloud.
I grew purple and white flecked ‘Nimbus’ sweet peas up my archway in spring and summer, and will plant some again soon. Tryphena is going full tunnel with her oleander archway and is planning to train a passionfruit vine over it. “We could both stand under our archways on a full moon and do some kind of spell ritual under them,” I suggested. “With fennel,” she replied. I have lots of self-seeded fennel in my garden, so that won’t be a problem.
There is something cool and magical and empowering about weaving your own archway, and at the core of it you could say our garden industry was both of us embracing our inner hedge witch – me during a time of isolation where I had more time to deeply engage with my home environment, and Tryphena reconnecting with hers through the act of garden making after a period away.
Traditionally, a hedge witch was considered to be a woman who lived by herself on the outskirts of a village where hedgerows separated the town from the wilderness beyond. She was deeply connected to the natural world and knew how to harness the healing properties of plants. But even that description was a stereotype back in the Middle Ages – one that many women were persecuted for – because, whether you live by a hedgerow or in Henderson, I reckon that a hedge witch is really just a woman who understands that she is part of the natural world and must care for it in order to care for herself and those she loves.
Knowledge and power that lies within us all. Just ask cool lady Yoko Ono, who once said, “I think that all women are witches in the sense that a witch is a magical being”.
I invite you to deeply connect to the natural world you inhabit by turning everyday activities into rituals, whether it’s pouring herbal teas from plants you’ve grown and dried yourself or watering your houseplants with rainwater. Here are some ideas for getting a bit more Wiccan in your garden.
