This is what its all about!

 Love these 2 apple trees in flower right in the middle of an industrialised area of East Belfast. 


I phantom planted these a few years ago and cant believe how well they are doing. I remember when I was planting these there was so many people tooting their horns with one girl stopping to ask could she get her pic taken with me. 

Another person shouted out the car window "Up the Phantom Planters"!...


UTPP!!! 


So many phantom planted trees everywhere I go these days, they just keep on growing and getting better looking as the years go on. So soul enriching watching your environmental graffiti thrive like this. 


Its also amazing what I'm actually learning just by sticking trees in the ground the right way up and observing them over the years. 

I've gotten to know so much just by doing. I never was one for learning from books or videos. I have always learned by jumping in at the deep end and work it out from there with enthusiasm and optimism. 


I have so much to thank my dad for having this attitude in life. Everything my dad wheeled and dealed at over the years he believed in it. I remember when I was only about 6/7 years old before my dad hit it big time in the underworld he used to drive round bookies, shops. houses, pubs and restaurants with a black bag over his shoulder, which could have been filled with socks, jumpers or what ever else he could get from the wholesalers and ask everyone did they want to buy any. 


Some people used to laugh at him but my dad never blinked an eye. He never cared what people thought. His pockets were always full of cash and every day he lived his life the way he wanted too with enthusiasm and optimism. Everything he sold he believed in it. He believed it would be the best selling thing yet! And most of the time it always was. I watched my dad go from rags to riches literally. 


On my dads last days when I was feeling sad he still had the same upbeat enthusiastic attitude saying, "Dont worry about me son, I've lived the life of ten men"...


There's a lot to be said for having a positive mental attitude in life. When you watch so many that fullfill their life dreams they all have this same mindset. 


These days though there ain't much the monopoly board has left that tickles me like it used too. All of societies toys and tinsel has lost its buzz for me. 


All I want to do today is create urban orchards for all turning the hood into a nature loving Buddhahood.


If you like what I do feel free to drop me a tip.

  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...
