Irish trees for Irish bees!

-

 Got another 140 apple trees grafted yesterday, had some real good Irish varieties done too. Mrs Perry, Sweet William and Irish Peach were some of the ones we did. Sweet William is said to be a massive sweet tasting apple not like any other.


People have been asking me for apple tree grafting videos which I keep meaning to do. 

To be honest I just dont have time to be making and uploading videos these days. I'm so busy out doing tree stuff. Once I get a job in my head that needs done nothing else matters, I must get the job done and dusted.

Although today I need to take a break, my fingers are sliced off me and need a day or so to heal.


The whole making videos and reels is just another thing I dont have time to go down. I downloaded one of them apps before for making reels and it was a headache. People must be spending hours making social media reels and videos. I remember this person I knew who used to spend hours every day making videos and reels and all they were getting out of it was virtual fame. And if they didnt get the likes they wanted they went into such a bad mood.

This whole social media malarkey has to be the biggest ego polisher ever!


I like to write more what I do, I think its more creative and better for us as humans to express ourselves this way.

Getting sucked into the whole reel making and stuff for me is getting me even more entangled looking at screens and computers rather than the real world. I'm trying to get away from time online and not getting more and more sucked into it.


One hour I set aside in the mornings for writing then the rest of the day I like to try and be out in the real world Wheeling & Dealing and Planting & Chanting!


I think we all need to try and get back in touch with the real world more.


Wednesday is my day for the mountains with my Buddha bother.

In this crazy world I think its so important we all do things like this. And not just to go to places like this to take pics and show off what your doing, continually interacting with social media the whole time your there. Had a guy I used to walk with once who did this, he did my head in. He walks with me no more. 


I mean to just turn the phone off and be present in wild nature and have good chats with another soul on the path. Zen walking I like to know it as, be at one with the world. Its all a practice though. Our egos can drive us up the wall. I used to race to the top, always checking my time, not happy if I'm slower than the last. These days though I threw my watch away. TIME - TI-ME! No more tie me anymore! 


When you read into the three poisons of the Bhavachakra the Buddha depicts them as the rooster, the pig and the snake. Its a representation of our egoic human mind. Greed, pride, hatred, delusion and ignorance. Its all these states of minds that we carry that keeping us in mental suffering. Ultimately we are our own worst enemies.


Have a great day guys..


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...
