Love these junipers

-

 Rain Rain go to Spain and never show your face again!


Thats a very common saying we used to say here growing up. Seems like it just never stops raining here at times.


I have another 130 apple trees to plant and about 50 specialist oak trees as soon as this rain does one. Although the forecast for the next 10 days is more rain.


Yesterday I took a walk up the Mourne mountains to check on some of my phantom planted trees. That put a smile on my face alright when I seen how well my Junipers are doing. These 2 in the pics I phantom planted around 5 years ago. They are growing like champions up here, so lush and green. Its great to see them shine in the winter when all the ferns have died off around them. Come summer time you can just see the heads of them poking out.


I have trees phantom planted on so many walks that I go on. It really gives you the best excuse to get out in nature when you phantom plant trees.


I dont know about you but I dont just plant a tree and forget about it. I always want to go and see it. Its environmental graffiti for me and I like to go back and see how my creative art is doing!


Where these junipers are is a steep walk up hill for about 20 mins and I'm not joking but I bet I could beat anyone in a walking race to my trees. The enthusiasm and excitement of seeing what your wild phantom planted trees will look like gets me up the hill in no time.


This was one of the reasons I always phantom planted in high up places as way back at the start of my phantom planting I was still smoking 20 a day and drinking a case of beer along with snorting bags of peas and barley daily.

I thought to myself if I plant trees up in the mountains I will always want to go up and see how they're doing which will in turn get me fit and clear my lungs.


This method to my madness worked. Me and wee betty spent years up in these mountains carrying trees and tools and in the hotter weather drums of water.

Hundreds we phantom planted. Then there was fires and grazing animals that kept destroying my trees.


All meant to be though as I was forced of the mountain and took to the streets of Belfast to phantom plant fruit trees. 


There are only handful that survived and these junipers are some of them.


It was all still worth it though as I am fitter now than I've ever been and clean of drink, drugs and cigs.


Anyhow soon as this rain eases and the land dries a bit I will be back phantom planting these 130 apple trees all around the country for the people and nature to enjoy.


January is the worst month for everyone guys and it has been the worse for me too. If you can help my mission just a little would really appreciate it. Please do donate whatever you can on the link below.

  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...
