Some orchard work from yesterday

-

 Check out the sign my Big Druid right hand man made for our spiral. This is the first of the iconic oaks to be planted in the spiral of ancient oaks.

This oak has been grown from an acorn collected of the Bowthorpe oak in England, at over 13 metres in girth and over 1000 years old it is one of the oldest and thickest girthed oaks in the UK.


I should have taken some more up close pics as my Druid mate has went to a lot of effort to make this. He has carved into the wood some oak leaves and the name is carved into the wood too then filled with resin.

Cant thank you enough big mate, none of this would be happening without you.


We also went round and checked over the 500 heritage Irish apple trees that we have planted in the next field, replacing any that didn't survive from last years planting. We updated our tree map also as we have all the varieties logged and mapped.


Again the best growing tree in the orchard is James Grieves, this tree is made to grow in our climates. Another amazing growing tree that stands out was the "No Surrender" variety!


There is still some space left in the orchard for more trees which when completed we will have well over 500 apple trees.


This place is going to be amazing in the years ahead. A real legacy to be leaving here for future generations. 


I've another 100 apple trees and around 150 oak trees left to plant this season.  When finished we will have planted well over 1000 trees in the past few months. 


Life is better when we plant and chant. 


If you'd like to support us you can do so by donating into our begging bowl account. So much time and effort goes into this project which is for everyone.

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...
