"The Ardoyne Rebel"

-

 Planted about another 15 apple trees yesterday at our new orchard. 5 of them are new crossbred Irish varieties that a breeder gave me. I did a post that I'm going to be naming some of these trees for the catholic community as we have some trees in the orchard named in relation to the protestant communities.

So I've named one "The Ardoyne Rebel" as thats where my wee mum was from and this is what I would have called her.

Another has been named "Heart Sutra" by a good friend of mine and my big right hand man named one "Turkingtons Delight". 

We still have 2 more to name which I'm going to pick these from you guys very soon from the list of comments in my previous posts talking about this when I was asking for some recommendations.


Over 300 fruit trees have now been planted up here, its been some work doing all this, all the trees have been carefully planted, mulched and caged to protect from any rabbits.

This orchard when it is grown up in a few years time and starts producing apples is for everyone to go and help themselves.

There are apples here like you've never tasted before, all native Irish apples that you wont ever see in the shops.


Yesterday I seen the first visitors up looking for their memorial trees, they managed to find them ok and was asking could they leave stuff at the tree, I said no probs at all.


Its so nice to see how many people come and visit their memorial trees at our other Belvoir memorial orchard aka The Phantom Planters HQ.

Over the years doing this I've seen so many families have great joy and reflection visiting their trees and dropping stuff off at them.

If you are going to be dropping stuff at your trees at the orchard try and make its like a permanent plaque or like a painted rock I've seen before that looks good. No flowers or plastics please as these just blow everywhere and start to get a bit messy.


We still have loads of unnamed memorial trees at the orchard if anyone would like to sponsor one get in touch. You'll get a name tag hand stamped with your loved ones name added to the tree and your contribution will help support the vital upkeep of this orchard.


Please do support us guys on the link below. So much time and effort has been going into this, we need all the help we can get.

  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...

Onlyfans definitely gets some attention!

 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...
