The Phantom Planter

 "Let The dead bury the dead"... JC said those caught up in worldly affairs are spiritually dead.  Leave them all to it and concentrate on your own spiritual path.  The Buddha left the Eightfold path which is a step by step guide on how to attain spiritual enlightenment.  Keep your karma right and you can dodge a lot of suffering in life. What ever suffering befalls on an individual is a result of his or her karma is what the Buddhas say.  Dont let the fear of what could happen make nothing happen. Progress spiritually today!  JC said we are all here through Sin. I believe this. The Buddha also said its our own karma has us here. Sin and Karma to me are the same thing.  Do we really think we are going to purify ourselves while being filled with hate and divisiveness?  This realm we live in is called the slaughter house in Buddhism. This is where karmic debts are settled. We will never be able to change this realm. Its just how it is, under the con...

  Have been pulling out and potting up lots of iconic baby oak trees that I sowed directly into the spiral a few months ago. I cant believe how many has grown. I really only need one of each oak at spiral so all these extras as you can see in the pics I have been potting them up and I'm going to sell them off.  These oaks have been grown from acorns collected by the Paramili-Trees SAS (special acorn service) division from the top 50 Great British famous trees. Then sent to me and propagated in The Phantom Planters magical spiral and now the extras have been potted up for you to have.  Some of the ones I potted up yesterday.  Darley oak. a 1000 year old tree in Cornwall Magog oak, well over 1000 years old in Glastonbury. This tree is probably the most iconic of them all with the myths and legends that surround them. There was old oaks 2 here, Gog and Magog. Gog is dead but I was very lucky to get acorns last year from Magog as its been in steady decline for many years...

 Haven't been posting too much lately about my tree work. Too be honest I cant be annoyed. I have more been connecting to the moment with the trees rather than documenting and sharing it. We get carried away at times feeling we have to share and tell everyone  all that we are doing on here which is taking us away from being present.  These places are so anxiety inducing at times also. We all need to be spending less time on here and more time out in nature without our phones. Be careful getting carried away with likes and praise on here. For if your moved by praise you'll certainly be annoyed by the slightest bit of criticism. Remain centred and unbothered by outside opinions for your own peace of mind. We attach too much pleasure and pain through words.  Takes a lot of effort also keeping social media platforms up to date. But every day I'm still out tending to the trees, watering the oaks at the spiral, which are all looking amazing btw, cutting grass and keeping p...

 Making the most of the good weather.  Most of my life I was a wheeler dealer. Selling everything from perfume to double decker buses. You name it I've sold it. I had my finger in so many pies I didn't have time for much else.  What happened to me trying to be ace in the ratrace was I lost sight of myself. I didn't know who I was. I had no hobbies or interests that didn't involve making money. Money was my God. Nothing else mattered apart from the paper and digits.  I created many selfish attachments living this way. I became an alcoholic and a drug addict with this money hungry lifestyle.  At about the age of 30 my life took a massive downward spiral. My negative karma was ripening fast and furious.  Things couldn't have gotten any worse and this went on for many years until one day I got disqualified from the monopoly board. Meaning I was made bankrupt!  The system came in on top of me and took the lot. To be honest Al Capone would have had a bit mor...

 Came up to stay in the North Coast here and stopped off to check on this phantom planted apple tree that was planted last year. Check out how well this is doing!!! I love going around checking out all my phantom planted trees. For the rest of my life this is something I'm always going to be doing. Watching my environmental graffiti thrive and grow bigger as the years go by.  You don't know what your missing guys. All the toys and tinsel of the monopoly board thats cunningly sold to us. All of it if left rots and ruins. They are balls and chains for our souls.  Phantom plant trees and leave them alone. In the years and generations ahead these trees become natures palaces. Its a great buzz when you come back and see a tree thats grew twice the size of you. Even better when phantom planted. Postive rascality at its finest.  We are our own worst enemies. Getting our minds entangled in mayhem continously. The world has always been mad. When has it never been mad?  I...

 This little island of 88 heritage apple trees is really becoming my pride and joy.  Loving how the council grass cutters have just been following my line of cut.  So many people saying I've planted these trees too close.  Look guys, I'm The Phantom Planter, I've been phantom planting on council land for over 10 years now. I've learned so much on how best for my trees to survive. This is a Paramili-Tree thing. Like landing on the beaches of Normandy. I need to send the trees in in large numbers for best chance of survival. Once established I can thin out or prune into an amazing canopy. Havent made my mind up yet. But if I was to phantom plant these tiny trees at the recommended distance just out in the wild, people, dogs and council grass cutters would be more enticed to walk or cut through the middle of it.  Relax guys. I know what I'm doing. This is environmental graffiti at its finest.  I challenge you to phantom plant a tree  Please feel free to d...
