The Phantom Planter

 This is just a message to say to all my long term supporters that have been continually praising my work in the comments section that I cant thank you enough for the years of support.  I'm sorry I wont be seeing your comments again. Some of you may have already noticed that I've been turning comments off in my posts and this is the way it will be staying.  Much better for my own headspace doing my posts this way. Stops any trojan trolls getting into my head. We all think we are immune to the BS on here but we are not.  We have no idea who we are interacting with on here. I've had my fair share of the headcases encroaching into my space. I dont need it.  To be honest you could be literally talking with people that are sitting in mental asylums.  I have to rule this BS out of my life.  This place is toxic for our own mental health and the comments section is where all the lower vibrational garbage is happening. Its the cesspit of antisocial media. I wan...

 Its been nearly 10 days now from I've been on antisocial media and to be honest I wasn't even too sure if I was going to come back on this mental asylum again. This place is so toxic. Our minds do not need to be exposed to some of the stuff thats going around on here.  From now on guys I will still be promoting my phantom planting but I will be keeping comments turned off. How many off us get engrossed in reading post comments. I know I do and its not healthy.  There are certain groups and parties on here that I really dislike and when I see them put a foot wrong I had to catch myself reading on gloating at all the negative comments. This type of mental activity is not healthy and totally against my spiritual path.  In Buddhism they say aversion which means to hate is one of our greatest causes of suffering.  I also dont think our consciousness is supposed to be exposed to so much nonsense.  Lao Tzu who was one of the great Sages back in the Buddhas day sa...

 Love this phantom planted apple tree in the estate.  All apples are gone. The neighbour said he has watched so many people come by and pick apples from this batch of trees we have in the estate.  They are all looking so healthy. I notice that lots of streets and estates can be like walled gardens. Keeping the trees sheltered and in the perfect ambient environment for them to thrive.  So many people have been out picking from all our phantom planted fruit trees. Out of the hundreds we have in the estate nearly every piece of fruit has been picked.  Unreal.  Hope you all enjoyed guys. And if you did please plant a tree.  I challenge you all to phantom plant a tree  Peace and love  The Phantom Planter and Wee Betty

 The Wesley Beeches Tree. Been on the hunt for this tree for many years now.  Its just up the road from where I grew up. Many times I went looking for it with no success. Yesterday I asked in at the local church and the man there was able to guide me to it. What a tree and the fungi on it was just amazing looking.  It is this time of year guys that all of us here in the UK and Ireland should be heading out to collect the seeds from these old veteran trees. Grow them up and once big enough get phantom planting them.  A man who was in the church overheard me asking about the tree. He was curious and started asking me about it. I said to him have you planted a tree before? He said no. To my shame I cut more down than planting them as he is a farmer he said. I said in the future mate if you plant forests on your land these trees will be farming the co2 we produce. And one day you will be able to charge for the amount of co2 that forests suck out of the air. His eyes lit ...

 So guys I was away yesterday having a meeting with my accountant about setting up The Phantom Planters Charitable Trust. Its all coming together soon and so happy to get the ball rolling on this.  I certainty wont be paying myself over £100K a year like so many of these other tree planting Trust directors.  Feeling very positive and enthusiastic for the future of The Phantom Planters movement.  It was the massacre of our community orchard a while back there that has driven me to do this. Every disaster thats ever happened in my life drove me to something new. Out of a muddy pond blooms a lotus flower. With every negative comes an equal or greater positive. It all depends on our own mindset what way we go with this. As the Buddha says we make our world with our minds.  I learned from the best though on how to always keep a positive mental attitude. My Delboy dad was the most amazing man at this. I watched my dad go from literally rags to riches. When I was a you...

 Good afternoon guys I've setup a tier on Patreon called - Mens Mental and Physical Health.  Most days on there I will be sharing stuff about my personal life that I would not share on other social media platforms as I cant be annoyed with moaners filling up my inboxes and comment sections. Lots of stuff I talk about and live by can be quite controversial.  It will be on Patreon I will show you how I live, what my diet is, my Buddhist practices and lots of my training workouts. Will be like online coaching as I do intend to interact and answer any queries that members may have.  As the group is for men, I will be talking about a lot of men things. I cant stop woman joining though but the group is mainly for men.  There is a monthly membership fee. I have big plans guys for my future Phantom Planters Trust. I need to make some money over the next while here to help build what I have in mind and to maintain the thousands of community fruit trees we already have. ....
