My Aloe ferox is a sad sight at the moment.It's covered in newspaper and fleece but I'm sure the frost has got through to the leaves. The snow we had in London (not much) was nice to look at, but these hard frosts are not nice. I know I'm going to lose many plants.

I'm so sorry to hear about your Aloe ferox and the other tender plants! Hopefully, they will come back in warmer weather! I do know that Aloe ferox is one of the more tender species of Aloe. Are your plants small enough to be well protected?
