Love this young lad.

-

 Did a post a while back about a young lad from the estate that I bumped into and he said to me that he just lost his mother and he would love a fruit tree phantom planted in memory of her, so I made a date with him to come down to the orchard and I will have a tree for him to phantom plant.


We phantom planted a cherry tree in memory of his mum and I have seen him on numerous occasions down watering and looking after the tree.


He then sends me a message saying would it be ok if I planted some orange lilies next to the tree as his mum loved them, he was worried incase they may take over or something or be invasive but I said work away.


So he sent me an update of him planting his orange lilies at his mums tree and saying how much comfort he was getting out of doing it, I was so happy for him.


His mum's birthday is on the 12 of July and yesterday he went down to see her tree and he sends me a message saying,


"cant believe it mate one has flowers on my mums birthday, so happy"...


I'm so happy for him too, this is a young lad from the estate who has never planted a tree before and now he's down watering and maintaining his mums tree, phantom planting flowers and going back down to look after them too, he's even went and got some mulch for the flowers, I'm well impressed!!!


Keep it up man, UTPP up the phantom planters!

  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"..
