Michelle Obama Reveals How Her White House Garden Grows

Every so often, a flash of Michelle Obama’s humor comes through in her otherwise serious book about the White House garden and her campaign against childhood obesity, “American Grown: The Story of the White House Kitchen Garden and Gardens Across America,” which goes on sale Tuesday.

Mrs. Obama will be making television appearances this week to promote the book; on Tuesday alone, she is scheduled to appear on “Good Morning America,” “The View” and “The Daily Show With Jon Stewart.”
