Marcus Holloway

Gardening Writer & Home Grower

I'm a longtime home gardener who started growing lettuce out of pure necessity—tired of wilted grocery-store greens, I began experimenting in containers on my patio about fifteen years ago. What began as a simple project to save money evolved into a genuine passion for helping others discover how accessible fresh greens can be. I've tested dozens of varieties, learned from plenty of failures, and discovered tricks that work in small spaces and tight schedules. When I'm not tending to my own gardens or pots, I'm documenting what works (and what doesn't) for readers who want the same fresh-from-garden flavor without the overwhelm. I keep a notebook of seasonal timing notes and love troubleshooting with fellow growers.
