Happy Easter!

 Happy Easter guys, I hope you all have a great day.


As most of you know I've been building up an acorn collection from many of the most famous and iconic oak trees from throughout the UK and Ireland.


I'm going to have alot more than I need and I'm thinking of running a competition and give people the chance to win a sapling from a famous oak tree.


I'm only intending on keeping 3 saplings from each famous tree and there are many that I've way more than I need.

The Major oak aka the Robin Hood oak tree from Sherwood forest, I've about 20 or so extra saplings.


It was said that Robin Hood hid in this tree and just over 2 years ago when acorns are ripe and ready for picking me and wee betty went in at about 5am with a torch, climbed the fence as the tree is all fenced off from the public and collected a whole tub full of acorns which have now grown up into baby oak trees.


The pic is from last summer of the Robin Hood oaks, this year they'll be a bit bigger.


I should be able to post them anywhere in the UK and I have definite over amount also of the Capon oak from Jedforest Jedburgh Scotland and the Big Belly oak at Savernake forest Wiltshire - believed to be the oldest oak in the UK, and also the Robin Hood oak.


All three of these trees are over 1000 years old and are all listed in the 50 Great British trees as selected by the Tree Council.

My mission is to one day get acorns from all 50 of the Great British trees and many more famous ones from the Emerald Isle and plant them up in my Oak Grove Museum.


Keep an eye out guys for the competition coming soon, once I see all what acorns raise their heads and I'm happy with the ones I'm keeping for my Oak Grove Museum I'll run the competition then.


I never thought I'd see the day I would be getting excited over acorns, but theres some sort of magical feeling I get being around all this collection of acorns from all corners of the UK and Ireland. 


The history, linage and mystery thats stored in each of these acorns is quite mind blowing and to think one day they are all going to grow up together and cross pollinate kinda gives me a buzz I never got from snorting lines of peas and barley of briefcases stuffed with cash, surrounded with the toys and tinsel of the world that are really just big balls and chains that we stress out about loosing and we loose our souls in the process!


I've disconnected and escaped from these demonic chains that we are tricked and manipulated to get entangled with from birth and I'm now connecting to a whole new world of mother nature.


Feel your soul flicker guys and get out and do your bit for nature.

That ratrace way of life thats glorified is poisoning us, it goes against everything that we are.


Nature is our friend and we should always help friends.

  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"..
