The Phantom Planter

 This time 3 years ago me and my right hand man got Christmas gifts sent to us from Jonny Rotten. We both got some of his signed limited edition prints. Jonny was over phantom planting with us the previous summer before that. He planted a plum tree in our orchard for the memories that his wife once had he said. At the time his wife was suffering from dementia. Just shows you how running around with a mask on phantom planting trees caught the attention of Jonny Rotten. Lots of people always say why do I wear a mask. There are many reasons I wear one but one things for sure. If I was barefaced planting trees no one would blink an eye. I've had all sorts of BBC documentaries made about me, been on the front page of mainstream newspapers many times. This time its good to make front page news though for good things. My past underworld antics got me front page news once and I had to do a runner!! Changed times though! Still I get asked all the time to do newspaper stories and radio shows...

 Out planting some of my heritage apple trees yesterday in peoples gardens in my local estates. I actually think this house in the pic I planted in was the house my dad grew up in, I'm not 100% sure but I'm trying to get the hold of my uncle to find out. Would be a nice wee touch if it was. The guy Ram in the house wanted the apple tree planted right in the middle of his garden, we had to smash out a paving slab and dig out the stones and sand to get down to the earth We then filled it up with good compost and planted the tree. He said in years to come he will look forward to sitting under the tree. Rams wife made the best Nepali tea and we chanted Hare Krishna and Om Namah Shivaya... They laughed when I said this apple tree is an offering to Shiva from the Belfast Buddha Hood... Got loads more more apple trees to plant today in the estate. One woman got in touch who runs an adventure forest school said she would love some apple trees for the kids as she has always wanted to pl...

 Good morning guys, Dont forget that anyone living in Belvoir estate South Belfast home of The Phantom Planters HQ, that I am offering to plant free apple trees in any of the residents gardens. Just send me a pic of where you want it planted and your address please and I will pop by very soon and plant you a free heritage apple tree. This is for Belvoir residents only. Planted 2 yesterday for customers who bought a mattress from me, they certainly didn't expect it when I called to say I'm on my way with your mattress and would you like a free apple tree planted in your garden. The lady I planted one for couldn't believe how fast I had it planted in her garden. Literally within minutes I was in and out. My 90 year old best mate who came with me for the spin couldn't believe how fast I planted it either. The underworld is ingrained in me from birth practically. From I could walk my delboy dad had me offloading lorry loads of dodgy goods and some of my earliest memories wa...

 Delivered 2 mattresses today and planted 2 apple trees in the customers gardens for free. They were well pleased. One lady said this is fait, I've been thinking of planting apple trees as its tree planting season and you just called to say your on your way with a mattress and do you want a free heritage Irish apple tree planted in my garden!! This is just brilliant she said!!! The other customer couldn't speak much English but he spoke in ha nds and smiles,  he was all happy too.  Both trees planted were Cavan Rose variety.  If your looking high in luxury mattresses delivered Belfast and surrounding areas only you'll get a free apple tree planted by me in your garden!  Www.buddhabeds.co.uk  All trees I plant I've started to keep records where they are. In later years it will be something special going round and finding them all.  I challenge you all also to phantom plant a tree yourself! Peace and love  The Phantom Planter

 Planted up the first apple tree of the season at our Lisnabreeny community orchard yesterday. What a beautiful afternoon sunset me and wee betty got for it too! There's something very connecting about planting trees on your own. Putting your positive thoughts and energy into the earth. For seeing years ahead of the people who will one day enjoy apples from this tree. Its probably the most spiritual thing for me to do. It is prayer in action... This was the first of the 400 heritage Irish apple trees that we grafted and grew ourselves. This one planted in the pic was actually grown from a cutting from a big old apple tree out the back of my ex girlfriends house. I got her to do the graft as well and check out how well its did for a first timer! I'm not sure what variety it is but the apples were red, tasty and massive. Every year it produced thousands of juicy apples. I said to my ex girlfriend at the time I'm naming this tree after you - Natalie's delight! To be honest...

"We are what we think, all that we are arises from our thoughts, with our thoughts we make our world"... First line of the Dhammapada from The Buddha.... I watch people on here all the time that post dark and destressing things, They're posts is one disaster after another. I do hit unfollow a lot though as my brain cant take too much. Think all our brains are way too overloaded these days with BS. We need a bit of a BS diet I think. Clear the heads and reset! But I have observed many over the years that get caught in the darkness and they seem to bring on more and more of it. Many I have watched their personal lives go into turmoil. I do believe its due to where they are directing their energies. They are manifesting madness! When we are in these heighten states of negative vibrations we become a magnet to all sorts of more doom and gloom. I believe this deep down from experience. I could tell some stories of this happening to me. I remember one time I had to get dodgy go...
