Not used to hearing Jimson weed spoken of with such respect! In folksong ("Young Man who wouldn't hoe Corn," sung to the tune of "Leatherwing Bat") we hear:

He went to the fence and there peeked in

Jimson weed grew up to his chin;

Jimson weed grew so high,

made this young man for to cry.

The song also has a nice phrase that I haven't heard anywhere else of "giving him the mitten" -- as in

She gave him the mitten just as sure as you're born,

And all because he wouldn't hoe corn."

Does this qualify as "thread creep"?   There's also a gardening moral to the song: the lazy gardener doesn't get the girl. BTW, in Seattle we call our allotments P-patches for some reason (not peas!) that I've long forgotten.
