Giving grafting lessons.

-

 Had the phantom planters inner council up at the polytunnel yesteday giving apple tree grafting lessons. 


Had my ice box filled with scions/cuttings with about 30 different types of native Irish apple and let people pick some  varieties themselves and graft them onto rootstock. 


We added their names to each trees and I'm going to look after them until next year in our polytunnel. If they have taken to there new rootstock and grow into apple trees,  they'll be given back to the inner council members for them to do what ever they want with next year. 


This was my way of giving back to so many people who have helped me along the way. 


Thank you inner council members for all that you for me. Really appreciate it. 


We made good progress also, must have got another 60/70 apple trees grafted. 


About 400 apple trees we have grafted so far. 


My plan and aim for these trees next year is to plant them up into more community orchards so everyone can help themselves. 


Yesterday was a big test for my personality. Letting people into my work lab as I like to call it was a big challenge for me. 

15 people I had working for me at one time before and it put my head away in the past. I even went to people management courses before on how to deal with staff. It made me realise I'm a lone ranger and always will be. I like to do things on my own. 

In many of my past underworld operations I did most think alone. Maybe that's how I lasted so long, keeping my cards close to my chest always. Some people are in the underworld for image. I was in it for cash!!! A clamped out car with a boot full of money was how I rolled. Image gets you caught! 


My best mate and underworld partner for a long time used to call me a crazy scientist. He's probably reading this knowing fine rightly how hard it is for me to let people into my work circle. 

I'm not joking but I've near got myself locked up for a very long time when people have put a foot wrong in past underworld labs I've had. 


I just need to keep remembering that growing apple trees for the community is not going to bring people kicking the door down looking to Rob or arrest me. 


Anyhow I'll be back up at today again. Just me and wee betty! It's how I like it mainly. 


That's why I'm never one for going and doing talks and stuff. It's not me. There are many reason I wear a mask. 


Please do support our mission guys, need all the help we can get. I don't have clamped out bangers full of cash anymore. 

Money made in the underworld is only on loan. Soon it will be returned and leave you broken, scarred and polluted. 10 years now I've been making an earnest effort to undo what has been done to me. All my own doing though. I created the thoughts, I made the choices and actions. Everything in life is Karma.

  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 ...

 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...

 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...
