A little bit of magic

-

 On Friday when we were making the carparking spaces at our Lisnabreeny community orchard I had just paid a farmer friend of mine £70 for helping us out with his tractors and other machinery. He was reluctant to take it to be honest but I insisted as all that farm stuff is worth a fortune and would have cost us hundreds to rent it.

Literally as soon as I give him the £70 a random guy stops in a van and says here take this as a donation towards helping out in the orchard. It was 70 quid he give me!!! That old saying a giving hand is a receiving hand came to mind. I couldn't believe it!


Then last night I took a group of volunteers out for dinner as a way of saying thank you for all that they do for the orchards. The bill was £80. As soon as I got back home I opened up a message and it was a donation for £80!! You couldn't make it up!!


Your donations mean a lot to me guys, it keeps my mission going forward. Past couple of days I've had a tree expert staying with me helping me out with the trees. If it wasnt for your donations I would not have the time to put this guy up and spend the time with him pruning trees and other work that needs done. Today we are going to start grafting more apple trees for phantom planting next year.

Then next week I'm heading to a school to plant trees with a load of kids.

I try and document my work as much as possible but loads I just cant do. Every day my life is with the trees. Your donations guys helps me do all this with ease. I need a decent amount of money here soon to set up a Trust. When this gets setup all donations will be transparent for everyone to see. I will then just pay myself a wage. Its the way forward for the future for me, it will also allow me to take my tree planting missions to the next level.

I know if I get some long term funding plans in place I can really take things to the next level. Thats been my only worry with The Phantom Planter for sometime now. I'm 45 now guys and dont even have a house! I need to think of my own financial future as well as the trees.

  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...
