First frost 2018 edition

First week of November,  there were proud promising spears of flower buds. 

The first frost hit hard on the night of 12th November, with a sudden drop to 11 degree night temperatures, leaving a sad, drooping mess. 

There will be no aloe ferox flowers this year. 

Sweet potato succumbed too. No more stir fry greens.
