Fay and Joe Gock were a passionate couple who were horticulture. With both of their intelligent minds they invented using under-earth heating to grow kumara year-round, putting stickers on certain fruit along with growing seedless watermelons, and were actually the first to do so. 

The couple got credited for saving the kumara because in the 1950’s when black rot threatened to wipe out the kumara industry the Gocks with no hesitation  gifted their disease-resistant strain to the nation, and declined to take any money for it. Unfortunately the Gocks were permitted to own land or build a house due to their government restrictions on Chinese immigrants. 

“As a kid I still remember living in what we called ‘the old house’, it wasn’t dirt floors or anything it was made comfortable ''- words from Jayne Gock(Their beloved daughter). 

While growing their fruits and vegetables, just like any other person they did go through many problems in their gardens but still managed to pull through. They also didn't have much money to pay people to help with their problems that they had but still didn't give up.

Joe and Fay Gock invented many amazing things, they have also taught us a lesson to never give up even when you are really struggling, because at the end you will feel successful and be successful.
