What a day!

-

 The Paramili-Trees were out in force yesterday at this plot where one of the apple trees was mowed over during the week by the grass cutter!


We phantom planted a Laxton Surperb apple tree for Maureen Harvey who won the prize draw we've been running recently and she wanted it planted in memory of her dog called Levi who she lost just recently.


RIP Levi...


Will get the memorial tags stamped up later and added to the tree and the map location sent to you Maureen so maybe one day you can come and eat apples from your dogs memorial tree.


Peter Wach, our South Belfast Leaftenant came along with a Bramley apple tree which he bought out of his own money and we phantom planted it also bringing the total to 6 apple trees at this spot.

Thank you so much Peter, you've been a dedicated Paramili-Tree member right from the start!


This is quite a middle class area where we were phantom planting and after we finished planting this lovely old couple came out saying how much they love what we are doing and insisted on giving us £30.


I gave them a couple of masks and they were over the moon!


From the hood, to the middle classes right up to Lords of Castles, I've planted with them all and everyone just loves apple trees.


You know years ago when I was trying to sort my life out, I started to practice this Karma Yoga stuff I learned from the monks to try and purify myself, running over mountains on my own, alone in the lashing rain on a come down of all sorts of drink and drugs and making nature offerings in an attempt to sort myself out, it crosses your mind at times am I loosing the plot up here!


But Nah!!! I'd already lost the plot, things couldn't have gotten any worse! 


I would have gave up some of my days drink and drug money and spent about £50 on trees and randomly phantom planted them in the mountains praying and chanting with nearly all of them dying over time and not making it, getting ate by sheep, getting burned and just didnt really have a clue what I was doing but I kept doing it and doing it.


I must admit some days I was on speed/amphetamines just to give me the motivation to do it, then right after, it was in the bar throwing the pints down my neck, you can down 10 pints like water and smoke a full cigarette nearly on one draw with that speed stuff in you!


But I know mother nature heard and felt my prayers and intentions, days like yesterday when I look around with people coming from everywhere to get in on the action I always think of the Buddha's quote,


"Out of a muddy pond blooms a lotus flower"....


Powerful things happen when we try and live in symbiosis with the creation....

  A bit about me and how I became the phantom planter. I grew up in a Loyalist housing estate in Belfast, my father a Protestant and my mother was a Catholic from Ardyone, that had big complications here in Northern Ireland but I always knew I was a mongrel, a bit different! My dad was a delboy ( a buyer and seller of everything and anything) and from I could walk he had me a mini Delboy, from selling round the doors to off loading lorry loads of bootlegged cigs and booze straight in from Andorra, he had me street trading and playing part in his delboy tricks to help him sell his dodgy goods! I learned fast how to make money and school for me was my business, I had more money than the teachers, my dad would have stocked my bag up at lunchtimes for me with more of his dodgy goods, perfume, tobacco, clothing, all sorts I had in my bag, even sold some of my goods to the teachers! When I left school I was financially embarrassed for a small time, 1000 pupils to me was 1000 people with ...

 Good morning guys, most of you have probably seen my disheartened post the other day about me feeling a bit down on the financial side of things to do with the Phantom Planter. I've been trying for so long now to earn a decent living from it to help fuel my passion in what I'm doing. There's nothing more I'd love to be doing than going round phantom planting fruit trees and maintaining them, getting my free fruit tree map app all updated and promoting it also so everyone can have free fresh fruit. I also have plans for my Oak Grove museum and several other community and nature projects I had on my mind. But for the past while I've been spending hours every day doing all sorts of work to do with the phantom planter and It's always been in the back of my head at times, what am I doing?? As most of you know I've been donated a small plot of land and I'm intending on building a cabin on it and I need money to do this. I'm living in a rotted rented cabin...

 From I've been saying that I'm on Onlyfans I've a lost a few hundred followers on my main phantom planter Facebook page. And the posts on it have a attracted many negative comments from people who seemed to know alot about life story and phantom planting antics, these are people that have been reading all my previous posts in depth and have never commented once before as I do read nearly all the comments and show my gratitude and if its a negative comment I just give them a hug. But it just shows you how many people are reading your posts with venom, just waiting until you put a foot wrong then give off. Then they announce they're departure commenting "Unfollowed." Look guys I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it and its certainly not going to distract me from my mission and soul purpose. I very rarely give my attention to negative comments on here or even get in a debate with. I would much rather give my energy and attention to people who are sup...
