Its been some journey so far!

 This is my first ever selfie as the phantom planter just under 4 years ago, its coming up to the 4 year mark of setting up the phantom planter next month and before I set it up I had to go and get blessed by the Buddhist monks at Jampa Ling and I phantom planted these oak trees in the pic on the way down to the Buddhist monastery!


You know when you know you just gotta go and do something, well I had to go and plant a tree in a Buddhist monastery with a Tibetan lama and ask him to bless me before I was going to go all out and talk about all my past and how I turned my life around through planting and chanting on here!


Many of you may not know also but it was me and a 9 year old girl who came up with the idea for the phantom planter, her 12 year old brother at the time was a bit sceptical about our plans and he thought I was crazy but me and my little past side kick went full steam ahead and got this page up and running believing that one day we are going to make phantom planting a worldwide trend!


It was also this little girl who gave me the confidence to write, I never wrote anything in the past apart from price lists, tick lists and bookie dockets but I became best friends and drawing buddies with this little girl and she was always telling me how nice my drawing and hand writing was, then I started to write silly poems and she loved them too!

I dont think I ever would have taken to writing the way I do now if it wasnt for this little girl coming into my life!


But I said to her, before we start I gotta go and get boosted up with the Buddha powers and get the phantom planter blessed then we're ready to take over the world!


So off I went to Jampa Ling and managed to plant a juniper tree with the Lama which was a very special experience for me, got my blessing and said a prayer in the shrine room asking the Buddha's to guide and protect me and nearly 4 years later phantom planters have risen all over the world and I'd say there has easily been over a million trees planted as a result of the phantom planter!


I will never forget my little sidekick but we will meet again one day and god knows what her brother thinks as I know he always thought I was a bit on the crazy side!


This saying below we came up with this together, this will always the phantom planter quote! 


I challenge you to phantom plant a tree! Anywhere, anytime, any place.....

  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...
