My first Leaftenant!

-

3 years ago today this little girls granny sent me this pic of her out watering some phantom planted apple trees that I planted in an estate in East Belfast, she wanted to go out and water them of her own back as we were having a heatwave at the time and she thought they would need some water.

Her granny was telling me she used to play on her trampoline saying do you think the phantom planter will come today as she was really excited to get meeting me then one day she spotted me and she came running over saying I know who you are, me and my granny follow you on Facebook!

Keep doing what your doing is what her granny told me as she said I had a real impact on this little girls mind!

She was my first little child fan that came over to me like this and I couldn't believe it, the phantom planter was not going that long back then and she made my day coming over!

This is exactly why I went phantom, I had a fruit tree planting charity before I was the phantom planter and the hoops I had to jump through just to plant trees cut my enthusiasm like a knife.

I knew the phantom planter would get people thinking and touch the minds of children, we are all rascals at heart and I knew if I made tree planting slightly dodgy then people will want to do it more!

I'm all about doing my bit for nature and the community and the phantom planter challenging everyone to phantom plant trees will have a better effect for nature and the community than any charity could ever achieve, people give 20 quid to a charity go back to the bar and think they've did they're bit!

But when you phantom plant a fruit tree in your local area, you watch it grow, it opens your mind to all sorts of positivity and when you get tasting your first apples from your phantom planted tree you'll bee keen to do more and more!


The phantom planter for me is an entity and I'm just one of them!


This little girl and her granny are great friends still to this day and come and help me out now and again at the phantom planters HQ...

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 a po

From Spain to Belfast Phantom Planting!

  Phantom planted another apple tree yesterday with my big glaswegian pal who is over visiting! He couldn't believe the size of the orchard now! Last time we planted a tree was years ago in Spain, 2 plum trees we phantom planted out there, sadly they didn't survive but we had great fun doing it in the lashing rain right outside the Buddhist Stupa as you can see in one of the pics, an offering to the Buddha was my intention! I was at the worst of my addictions back then, used to visit this Stupa a lot for spiritual guidance, really found myself out there, spent a lot of time in Spain soul searching, taking advantage of the cheap winter flights and free stay! I had my last ever pint at the airport after praying at this Stupa, the Buddha responded to my offering I believe! Pretty magical really, faith in a higher power guys, that did it for me, there's more to all this life, more to all this all this world! "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it"..
