Gratitide to the inner council

-

 I'm very grateful for all the people in my life thats making The Phantom Planter movement work. There are so many jobs that people do behind the scenes to keep everything going that I could never do myself. People volunteer their own time to keep all this going.

Some land we have just claimed for the greater good and other land has been donated for all our community fruit trees and orchards.


What I have also loved to see this year is nearly every fruit tree we've planted has had all their fruit picked.

I was round checking on some apple trees last night in a part of the estate and one of the old neighbours came out saying that a few different groups of people have been round picking from them trees.

Its all working the way I've dreamt off and more!


People have also been saying to me that they have been using the phantom planters tree map that I've shared on here to go and find the trees. 

Cant thank my beautiful girlfriend enough for making this map of trees happen. Its genius!!

Again she did all this for free, which took her many many hours of work.


I have big plans for this planting season coming up in November. I have many spots through the estate eyed up for phantom planting. I've got some 2 year old James Grieves and Bramley bare root apple trees on order. For me these are the best apple trees to plant in housing estate, they grow so well, disease resistant and a good heavy reliable cropper creating good food security for my local people. 


We also have about 200 heritage Irish apple trees that I've grown myself to plant up in the Lisnabreeny Community orchard, filling up the whole field bringing the total to around 500 community fruit trees.


In the field next to it we will be making a start at planting up my Oak Grove Museum. This is a lifelong project of mine which will take many years to complete. I was on the phone talking to my right hand man about this yesterday and I dont think I've ever talked about planning something that you have to think of what its going to look like in 300 years time!!


These are the winter plans guys.


I challenge you all to phantom plant a tree. 


Peace and love 


The Phantom Planter

  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...
