81 apple trees completed

-

 Added bamboo canes and trees guards yesterday to all the 81 apple trees we phantom planted in the estate over the past few days. Luckily when I got down yesterday no more trees had been broken. Only 2 so far had been snapped with possible dogs running over the trees as they are so small. 

They were hard to see to be honest without the tree guards on them. Hope now the dogs will see them better and also they will be able to take a bit of a hit now with the canes and guards acting as an extra strengthener for them.


This is going to be an amazing little wild orchard when this all gets established. Such a mix of heritage Irish trees phantom planted here. Cant wait to watch this all grow over the coming years.


The community really loves the idea of fruit trees being planted around the place. Everyone stops to say how much they love it. So many dont know also how many different types of native apple trees we have. It's my life ambition to fill our local estate and beyond with all these heritage apple trees.


I did a mattress delivery yesterday at around 8.30am, I was very early for the delivery, got to the door and the lady was just up. I said I'm planting apple trees in peoples gardens for free with every mattress order. I've a Cavan Sugercane and James Grieves variety here for you if you want me to stick them in your garden now. As she wiped the sleep out of her eyes she was like, I have no idea what your talking about. I could see she was baffled, apple tree and mattresses!! The two dont mix!!

When she finally woke up she was more than pleased and I stuck 2 in her garden for her. She asked if I was selling them and I said no, its just a passion of mine putting our heritage apple trees back on the landscape.


162 apple trees I've planted so far this season in the past month. I've around 212 more to go! Back at it today again planting in the Lisnabreeny community orchard. This place will be the mother orchard in years to come and with the ancient oak spiral right next to it, its going to be a pretty magical place.


I've so much work to be getting on with, thank you all for your donations yesterday. Honestly it gives me some breathing space. Coming up to Christmas is not a good time for selling mattresses, my funds have been slightly low this month.


Like everyone else I'm caught in this monopoly board myself and my mission costs a lot of money and time. Please do support what we do below.

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 ...

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...
