First tree to flower!

-

 The first tree has burst into flower at our new orchard. This was a pear tree brought along and planted by a friend of mine on the border of the new Lisnabreeny community orchard.


All the 300 native Irish apple trees in the orchard that we just recently planted are about to burst into life any day now.

Just from observing I can see that the altitude of this new orchard makes a difference to when they first burst into life, even though its only 140m above sea level it does make a difference.

Many of the same variety apple trees down at our other orchard more lower down have already burst into life. I think Phenology is the word for that. Amazing to watch and learn from....


Long after I'm gone people are going to be eating fruit from trees that I've phantom planted. Birds and other wildlife will be feeding on them also for many years after me. People will be sitting in the shade of oak trees I've phantom planted hundreds of years from now. 

I never really thought about all this when I first started phantom planting. It must be one of the most beneficial things we can do with our energy and time is plant trees. Its a positive vibration that just keeps on going.


As I was walking around the trees yesterday connecting with them I was just thinking that in life we should not concern ourselves with what others are doing. Its what we are doing which is most important. Its so easy to let ourselves become infected and polluted by the negative energies around us and then all we are doing is unknowingly venting the same negative vibrations into the world.


There is a story about an angry monk who when trying to meditate the noise of everyone around him in the monastery annoyed him. So he took himself out to the middle of a lake to meditate in a boat. As he was sitting in a deep state meditating one day another boat crashed into him and he looked round in anger to see who it was only to find out there was no one and another empty boat had just blown into him. He realised at that moment that the anger was in him.


I think of this story all the time. It really does resonate with me, I have always suffered with anger problems and still do. Thankfully I'm nowhere near as bad as before.


But what I am learning in life is we all really need to get our own s**t together first and not be concerning ourselves with others. Sort our own issues and problems out before exposing others.


Maybe give some planting and chanting a go guys. See where life will bring you. Its brought me to a better place mentally and physically. 


Peace and love

  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...
