My wee best mate.

-

 My best mate wee betty just sits and watches us patiently as we plant apple trees at our new orchard yesterday.


Think she has been with me for every tree I've ever planted, she always knows when playtime is and when to just sit and chill when we are planting.

And then when its picture time she comes walking over to get ready for the camera. Dogs aren't so stupid!


You think you are rescuing a dog but more like wee betty rescued me. This wee dog has been a massive part of my healing in getting me fit and healthy. She has been my personal trainer for the past 10 years always forcing to me to get out walking everyday.


I think we should all rescue a dog, humans practically owe our existence to dogs, they have had our backs since times begun.


Anyhow, taking a break from tree planting for a couple of days, have a big weekend of planting coming up and need some time out for other stuff.


This will be the most fruit trees I've ever planted in one go and its taking a lot longer than I anticipated and costing a lot more than I thought also.


Everything seems cheap until your buying for 300 tree. I can see why lots of community projects never make it off the ground.


This is all food for thought for me going forward with this whole thing for any future projects like this. The more publicity I've been getting with the phantom planter over the years the more people are contacting me about things. 


After the front page news in the Irish News I've had people from everywhere get in touch wanting me to do things. I've been ignoring lots of people as I dont have time to get back.

  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 ...

 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...
