Not all trees make it.

-

 This picture is from 5 years ago phantom planting a pine tree near Mizen Head, the most southerly point of Ireland. 


Unfortunately this tree didn't make it as I went back a couple of years later to look for it and it was gone. 


People always ask me do you think they can plant a tree here or there and will the council be OK with it or what if it gets damaged and so on. 

There's only one way to find out and that's by doing it I say to them. 


One of the main reasons I got into phantom planting was to do something more postive with my time when I broke free from drink and drugs. The money I was saving on polluting my body I was then spending on trees to phantom plant. If a tree didn't make it or got ripped out by the council I wasn't going to loose any sleep over it. I will always plant more was my attitude. I mean I spent no end of money on drink and drugs and never thought anything of it. Buying a few trees for the price of a round of drinks to potentially enrich the community, nature and me was a no brainer. 


Today I have community orchards all over the place with people helping themselves to all the free fruit they want. 

Much of this was paid for by what I used to spent on intoxicants. And the time spent planting used to be time I spent in the bar. 


We all have a choice how we use our time and money in this life.

Sadly our world is run by the best wheeler dealer car sales type of dudes and we fall for a life that's sold to us. Where there's profit there's always delusion.  


"Spent way too much on self gratification which nearly ended in my own eradication, time to give back what we've all taken or our future generations will be left forsaken, now that the spirit in me has awakened,  planting trees is my souls purification."


My attempt at poetry, it was not that long ago that I thought apostrophe was a Greek God. 


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 ...

 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...
