Richart Office: 407-327-5976 Fax: 407-327-6695 Email: srichart winters rin sfl.or A. Budget 1. TLBD Maintenance Fund - 184 2. TLBD PH2 Maintenance Fund - 185 3. TLBD PH2 Improvement Fund - 313 B. Maintenance Items and Progress Report 1. P & L landscaping is performing to standard. 2. Tru-Green is performing to standard. 3. The Shetland entrance sign has been involved in an auto accident. Staff is contacting the insurance provider and seeking quotes for repair. 4. Florida Water Features has been asked to improve their level of service for the main entrance fountains in Tuscawilla. The water was found to have a high algae content and NO chlorine content during the week of October 9, 2006. 5. The main entrance brick wall features have been spot cleaned by Waterworks in October 2006. 6. Mulch is currently being installed at all medians and entrances within the TLBD. 7. The trees along Winter Springs Blvd, in the rights-of-way and medians, will trimmed over the next (5) months as part of a grant from the Florida Division of Forestry, Emergency Hurricane Grant Cleanup Program. The project will have a dollar value between $18,000 and $50,000; to be determined at a later date. 8. Sweet Potato Vine are being installed at each entranceway in place of annuals. Red Begonias are also being installed in select median end caps to add seasonal color. The Sweet Potato Vine will act as a perennial planting that comes back after a winter freeze and will also reduce annual color planting costs by several thousand dollars in FY 2007. C. Phase 2 Beautification Project 1. Construction on Phase 2, Northern Way South began on August 21, 2006. Installation of the streetlight poles is in progress and at 40% completion. 2. The sign portion of the streetlighting project is still pending awaiting the bidding process for labor. The City is conSidering 'piggybacking' off of another publicly bid GSA Government contract for the sign and pole purchases. Construction is speculated for the beginning of 2007. h ha.

P & L LAWN MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE INSPECTION REPORT Tuscawilla Lighting & Beautification District 10/02/06 Thomas Payne 1. Many of the annuals look rough and they are probably due to be changed out. 2. Cycad scale is active on the sago palms at the Dyson Road, Howell Creek and Deer Run entry planter boxes. 3. A Manganese deficiency is visible on the sago on the south side of the Howell Creek entry planter box landscaping. 4. Many of the azaleas on the site show signs of an iron deficiency (yellowing). 5. Some dollarweed and crabgrass issues are beginning to become visible in some of the turf areas and there is also a little iron deficiency (yellowing) visible throughout the site. 6. The roebelenii palm on the north end of the north side wall planting is showing signs of curling bottom (older) leaves. This could be due to herbicide drift, a recent chemical application to the plant and/or the beginning of a nutritional problem. Our opinion would point to a potassium deficiency in the current fertility program. 7. Islands #15 & #16 appear to be on the dry side, there is a broken sprinkler head at the western tip of island #21 and there is a repair that needs attention on the south side of the main entry behind the wall plantings and all of these irrigation issues were forwarded to Jeff Norris for attention. (repairs/adjustments completed 10-4-06) 8. We need to remove any dead plants found in any of the landscape beds and especially the dead azaleas in the bed behind the wall plantings on the north side of the main entry. 9. We need to be sure and pick up sticks/branches and remove them from the site instead of piling them up in hidden tree rings. 10. A recent email from Steven suggested sight line interference from the median plantings at Blue Creek Drive and Tuscora Trail and the plantings in this area appear to have been recently trimmed down and the problem may have already been corrected. In the future, it would be a great aid to us in responding quicker to such a request if the species of plant blocking or restricting the view was identified in such a report.

These showy forms produce a tuberous root identical in appearance to the common (green leaved) sweet potato but probably not tasty. Late in the season tubular, fairly large flowers appear which are similar to morning glories. Usually they are not particularly noticeable, though, because the foliage claims most of the attention. Three types are of ornamental sweet potato are cultivated for annual, summer vines: 'Blackie' with dark purple, nearly black foliage; 'Margarita' with chartreuse leaves; and 'Tricolor' with pale green, white and pink margined leaves. 'Blackie' and 'Margarita' come back with the same color foliage as the mother plant, but 'Tricolor' may revert to green. Location The origenin Tropical Americas. 020.0:5 FloridtltJl.tbm The ornamental sweet potato vines 'Margarita' and 'Blackie' create colorful cascades in containers. Culture Plant in reasonably good, loose, well drained soil, and water as needed. Once established, the plant is not particularly "thirsty," since the underground tuber retains enough water to get through some dry spells. Cut often if needed to control for size and to create more branching. The vines are vigorous and will put on new growth immediately. Beetles can create annoying holes in the foliage; either tolerate imperfection or spray with insecticide such as pyrethrin or malathion. Light: Full sun to mostly shade. Moisture: Average - leaves droop when the vine needs water. Hardiness: USDA Zones 9 - 11. Grow as an annual in other zones. Propagation: Where the ground freezes, dig roots in fall and put in dry storage. Otherwise, tubers may be left in the ground or lifted for division in spring. To increase, cut tubers into pieces, making sure that each has at least one "eye" (sprout). t> 2003 Florid.la.com Sweet potato vines 'Blackie' (dark red) and 'Margarita' (chartreuse) altemate creating a ribbon of color cutting through Mr. Cason's Vegetable Garden at Callaway Gardens, Georgia. I failed to notice them among the dazzle but I suspect there are some plain green "eating" sweet potato vines here too! - Jack Download a larae version (800x600). Usage Use any of the ornamental sweet potatoes as an annual ground cover, especially on a bank where it will be the most visible. 'Blackie' and 'Margarita' contrast beautifully and can be planted side by side. In a container, 'Blackie' and 'Tricolor' can cascade down, their purples intermingling with the lighter variegation for brightness. Plant an eggplant (Solanum melonzena) for height! The purple flowers and dark purple fruit will create a composition of coordinated color! Features This beautiful and fast growing vine is provides an easy means of adding color to shady areas. These plants are inexpensive and becoming readily available to help you add sophisticated color and form to containers and shade gardens. Jack Scheper 06/22/99; updated 1/7/04,3/22/05
