Today's work!

-

 Thats 120 native Irish apple trees all grafted and potted up in our new nursery. Have another 200 to go. 


Takes a long time doing all this, but im sure with practice I'll get better and faster. 


Thanks again everyone who has donated to me today, really appreciate it. 


Yesterday I felt under so much pressure having a mammoth task ahead of me grafting all these trees and theres only a short window to do this in which is the last 2 weeks of March and into april a bit when the sap is rising, after this you have to wait till next year. 


Then I was thinking of all my aconrs I have to pot up, sort and maintain, then theres all the thousands of phantom planted trees I have all around the city with many of them needing weeding and tidied. 


I was thinking to myself yesterday I really need to be up front and ask for donations more to help keep me doing what im doing, the more I plant, the more grafts I take,  the more of my life is going to be completely consumed by all this and I never want to sell out to corporate advertisers as they are never off my back trying to sign me up to stuff, for me that goes against everything that I stand for. 


Even writing my daily posts on here every day takes up so much of my time and then answering questions, its never ending. 


I've found myself in a very odd predicament and I really feel like a bit of a begger to be honest, but I guess thats just my pride and ego. 


Around 10 years now my life has been dedicated to trying to be a positive influence and contribution to nature and the community. 


So if you like what I do and share you can support me on the link below and help keep me planting and chanting.

  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

 Good morning guys, most of you have probably seen my disheartened post the other day about me feeling a bit down on the financial side of things to do with the Phantom Planter. I've been trying for so long now to earn a decent living from it to help fuel my passion in what I'm doing. There's nothing more I'd love to be doing than going round phantom planting fruit trees and maintaining them, getting my free fruit tree map app all updated and promoting it also so everyone can have free fresh fruit. I also have plans for my Oak Grove museum and several other community and nature projects I had on my mind. But for the past while I've been spending hours every day doing all sorts of work to do with the phantom planter and It's always been in the back of my head at times, what am I doing?? As most of you know I've been donated a small plot of land and I'm intending on building a cabin on it and I need money to do this. I'm living in a rotted rented cabin

 From I've been saying that I'm on Onlyfans I've a lost a few hundred followers on my main phantom planter Facebook page. And the posts on it have a attracted many negative comments from people who seemed to know alot about life story and phantom planting antics, these are people that have been reading all my previous posts in depth and have never commented once before as I do read nearly all the comments and show my gratitude and if its a negative comment I just give them a hug. But it just shows you how many people are reading your posts with venom, just waiting until you put a foot wrong then give off. Then they announce they're departure commenting "Unfollowed." Look guys I'm really not going to lose any sleep over it and its certainly not going to distract me from my mission and soul purpose. I very rarely give my attention to negative comments on here or even get in a debate with. I would much rather give my energy and attention to people who are sup
