'''Weeds''' spawn on the ground at random during [[Spring]], [[Summer]], or [[Fall]] on [[The Farm]] and in [[The Mines]], especially but not exclusively at a change of season. Weeds spawn in and around [[Pelican Town]] for the first several days of the game, but not thereafter.
Weeds have a 50% chance to drop 1 [[Fiber]] when cut with a [[Scythe]], [[Axes|Axe]], [[Pickaxes|Pickaxe]], or [[Weapons#Sword|Sword]].
Weeds do not spawn on tiles that buildings, equipment, fences, or closed gates already occupy. However, unlike grass, they may spread to a tile that has been paved with [[Crafting#Decor|pathing]]. When they do, they destroy the pathing, which must be replaced after the weed is removed (if you want to keep the path).
