Mr Joe and Mrs Fay

Bledisloe cup
Bledisloe cup: a couple who won the bledisloe cup and started market gardening when they were married in 1957.

they could be called citizen sciencentist because when there was an issue with there plants they came up with good ideas to fix them.

Fay gock and joe gock won the bledisloe cup from there market gardening and they become champions.

broccoli: Joe gock came up with a good idea for the broccoli not to go yellow and limp.

when he put it in the fridge he sprayed it with water and it still went yellow and limp but when he came up with this idea he was surprised.

one day he brought a chilly bin home and filled it up with ice and water then he put the broccoli in and waited till the next day.....

he had a look at the broccoli and it was fresh and clean.

seedless watermelon: Joe and Fay were also the first market gardeners in New Zealand to grow seedless watermelons,and this led to another invention - stickers on fruit were the ones that had seeds in them and there was no way to tell them apart cause they were both the same.

and now everyone buys watermelon from the fruit shop

harakeke facts

How does harakeke grow?

Harakeke is a herbaceous plant, meaning its growth form is soft, not woody. The robust, sword-like leaves are arranged in two adjoining sets around the growing point (rito) to form a fan. A unique feature of harakeke and related plants is that the lower third or so of each leaf is folded together along its midrib or keel. This creates a stiff, heavy butt.

How long does it take harakeke for it to grow?

It could take harakeke 5 to 6 years to grow and if you cut the baby and the parents that are in the middle of harakeke then it will take about 7 to 8 years.you can only take the granparents that are hanging on the side of the harakeke plant.

How to harvest harakeke?
when you cut harakeke you cut it at the end but dont cut it from the top you have to cut on the side.
