Phantom planted plum trees thriving!

 Love these 2 plum trees by the side of the road at Seaforde layby on the way to Newcastle. These pics were taken yesterday and check out the flowers on these beauties! 

If the bees do their work all these flowers will turn into plums. 

I think a week ago they would have been even better, I cant get time to get around seeing them all in flower as I've that many. Facebook memories are amazing though for keeping me up to date when they flowered in the past years. You can notice that they dont always flower at the exact same time every year. Phenology is the word for these seasonal differences. 

I phantom planted these plum trees about 8 years ago and they have thrived ever since. 

I have fruit trees phantom planted at lots of laybys from Belfast out to Newcastle. This is me and wee Betty's regular route to the Mourne Mountains and for years now we have just been phantom planting fruit trees as and where we can along the way. And thats exactly what we did yesterday, checked out all the trees on the way to the top of the mountain peaks.

I did have many non fruiting native trees planted right up to the top of some of the mountain peaks but sheep and fires forced off. Still I have loads that have survived all over the mountain and its a great day out for us to drive to the mountains checking out all the environmental graffiti on the way. Gives you such a wee buzz seeing all your phantom planted trees thrive. 

I always like to phantom plant everywhere that I travel around on a daily basis so I can keep an eye on them and admire them too. Really cheers me up when you see your little acts of rascality just doing their thing. From the gym, to the mountains and on the way to the supermarkets, I've phantom planted trees everywhere. 

The Buddhas say the more good deeds we do the the more we elevate our minds. Phantom planting is some of my goods deeds into the world. Every time I drive by and see one of my trees with a bird sitting on it pecking into an apple or someone picking fruit from a tree my mind naturally elevates into a more happier place.  We are self creating beings the Buddhas tell us. 

I challenge you all to create some good karma for you and the world around us today. Go phantom plant a tree. 

Peace and love 

The Phantom Planter and Wee Betty
