At a crossroads!

-

 As most of you know for the past while I've been making every effort to try and make a living from the phantom planter and its a been a hard struggle!

To be honest with 115k fans I thought I'd of got at least 500 of them a month giving me £3.50 on Patreon. But I haven't even got a fraction of that. I'm making so far £300 a month.


Then there's the Onlyfans which I really dont think is me, feels so vain for me, it's like I'm becoming that social media type person that I look at and cringe!


I've been getting asked  plant trees for people, come to schools, groups and other types of places like I'm sort of celebrity. But then when I say it's £100-£150 depending where it is or what ai have to do which I dont think is much I never hear back from them.


Strange isn't it? Some people must think because you come on here preaching love and compassion that I'm just going to run around doing all this for free.


Then I've been getting people donating me money and because I haven't thanked them personally I start to get abusive messages.


Just being honest with you guys, its all gone a bit f**ked up for me. I've neglected a small business that I've had for the past 20 years to put all my energy on here and I've been leaving myself short financially.


My van is getting old, it has 200k miles on it and my cabin is rotting away. Theres stuff I need to make money for!


A cabinet reshuffle is what I'm thinking.


Sometimes I think my job is done here.


Peace and Love.

  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"..
