There's a classic pun based on these homonyms. Seems this cattle rancher had three sons and he built his ranch right in the middle of Death Valley. The man died and his kids had to come up with a new name for the cattle ranch. They finally decided on:

"Where the Sons Raise Meat"
==homophone to==
"Where the Sun's Rays Meet"

I want an urban vegetable garden, and
she wants an herb and vegetable garden.

Well, you *know* that her idea is better, but maybe there is a compromise somewhere in there...
