The killing frost

I was quite devastated when I discovered the damage done to frost tender plants when we had two very cold mornings a few weeks ago.  I don't think the hibiscus and the chilli plants will recover but I hope the choko vine will come back after pruning in spring.  The red cabbage I was able to save after hosing away the thick frost on the young leaves.
