The Phantom Planter

 Haven't been up to our apple tree nursery in ages now as I've been so busy and last night I took a drive up to have a look and couldn't believe my eyes! You would think we knew what we were doing! We only just started grafting 2 years ago. 1000 Irish variety apple trees thriving! All these trees were grafted onto mm106 rootstock just a few months ago and check out the size of these beauties. The growth has been unreal. These are all cuttings/scions from old Irish variety apple trees that myself and some inner council members went and collected from old orchards about the country winter past. Next year I'm making a few changes on my phantom planting tactics when all these trees are ready to plant. For the past couple of years now I've been making big pushes on here to make money from what I do. Living in a rotted cabin was doing my head in. Now I have my new cabin home bought and paid for I dont need much money to live. I get what does me wheeling and dealing my mat...

 Something strange happened yesterday at the phantom planters HQ! I was staking up a an apple tree in the orchard that was falling to one side with the weight of apples and right as I was doing this a guy put a post up on the group saying that he went to visit his grannies tree in the orchard and right at the time of posting I was at his grannies tree. We have hundreds of apple trees at our main orchard aka the phantom planters HQ.  Found it very strange I just happened to be at his grannies tree at the same time of him posting on the phantom planters group saying he'd been down to visit it.  I've seen so many weird and wonderful things like this happen at our orchard.  The magic and mystery of phantom planting trees.  We all need to take time to slow down to connect and respect the creation. We are part of it, interconnected and interdependent with it.  I challenge you to phantom plant a tree today.  Peace and love  The Phantom planter

 Remember guys you can support me on patreon for a few pounds a month. If you look through all my posts on there you'll see and hear stories of my past that I don't share anywhere else. In depth stories of my past wheeling and dealing life are all on there.  Lots of chapters of the book on my life story is on there also that I had planned to write, but I decided not to finish and publish that. Not enough people from my old underworld endeavours are dead yet! Still some high ranking gangsters around that may read it the wrong way and get paranoid.  One guy I did say to him I was going to mention him in my book and he near flipped out. Even though I was using different character names he was still saying -  "sure everyone will know thats me"!  Its so true, when your in thick of underworld dodgy dealings fuelled with all sorts of substances your a paranoid mess living on the edge. So I decided to call the book a day. This guy's opinion was a blessing in disguise. R...

 Lots of tree work to catch up on from I've been away for the past 10 days. So many fruit trees are falling over with the weight of the fruit on them with many having branches thats snapped due to being loaded with fruit! This is the most fruit I've ever seen at the main orchard we have aka The Phantom Planters HQ. And also the size the trees are getting is unbelievable. The health of them is also unbelievable too. So many of the fruit trees seem to struggle for the first few years putting their roots down into the earth. Then when they do put their roots down far enough they then connect into the mycelium network which interlinks them with all the other trees and they then communicate and support each other and off they go with a bang growing like champions! This is just my thoughts on it anyway from observing and working with the trees over the years. I'll tell you something else I've learned about nature and connecting to it and I think this goes for life in general....

 Thats me back in Belfast now after doing support driver for my mate and Buddha Brother Mark Oliver on his walk around the country for stroke awareness. 10 days I was away with him for all around the country watching him on his long walk alone to raise money for a stroke charity. Over 400 miles he will have walked at around 30 miles a day by the time he finishes today! He will still be out walking right now in his last day to Stormont Parliament buildings where he is expected to arrive between 5-5.30pm today (Thursday June 26th). Everyone is welcome to come along and walk the last mile up Stormont hill with him today. I really dont know how he did it, truly inspirational what he is doing. I watched him for 10 days walk every mile of the country, approx 30 mile a day he walked nonstop. Me and wee betty were glad to be apart of it, we got to see some special places around our wee country. The weather really played ball for us too. 2 of the hottest days of the year we got on our trave...

 Happy summer Solstice guys. Probably the most special day of the year for me. Powerful the energies that are around is right now with the sun being the closest it'll get to our part of the world.  I've been here from 4.30am this morning doing some stretching, meditation and prayers waiting on the sun coming up.  I've been so lucky to have it calm like this. You dont normally get the weather like this in lower Lough Erne. Evertime I've been here its always rained and I've been here many times. The creation has been good to me.  Ps  No wee betty, she's up in the van, she gets so nervous on these piers.  Have a great day everyone.  Peace and love  The Phantom planters
