Singing in the Rain!

-

 Have never been as glad in my life to wake up to the sound of the rain pelting down on my cabin!!


This will save me alot of running around watering trees!


I was meant to head away last week for a bit of touring around the UK and had to cancel due to the heatwave here as I couldn't have left all the newly phantom planted trees!

Only I know where most of them are too so it wasnt like I could have gotten anyone to do it for me and to carry water to the places I had to go to at times, some places were a bit extreme!


Although I had many people that came and helped me out, thank you all, you know who you are!


This was one of the other reason why I started to accept donations of money also, as the phantom planter was getting bigger more and more people kept bringing me trees and plants as gifts, I know its such a nice thing to do but it ends up a burden on me looking after them all...


Thank you all guys for the offers of trees though but I would prefer you guys phantom planted them yourself...


I've learned alot over many years of phantom planting and have watched which type of trees grow best and from now I'm only going to specialise in old heritage variety apples trees, one type I'm never planting again is pears, nearly every pear tree I've phantom planted has ended up sick apart from the one me and my delboy dad phantom planted in memory of my wee mum, its unbelievable!


But the rest of the pear trees I've phantom planted which is around 100 or so easily are terrible!


And all these fancy dutch wonder fruit trees, waste of money, I've spent thousands of pounds phantom planting over the years and by putting my money where my mouth is I've leanred alot! 


Any money you donate me will go towards sourcing good heritage apple trees, my aim is to have a proper nursery here in Belfast with someone producing these for me, never mind these so called native varieties they sell here that are grown in Holland, we need to be growing these over here!

  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"..
