Weed can be any plant - it being a herb, a flower or a tree doesn't disqualify it from being a weed. It is any plant that grows out of control and kills off weaker plants in the process.
Mint bushes out and kills herbs that are weaker.
If you plant mint in your garden, getting rid of it is a nightmare, if you can get rid of it at all. But it smells nice at least.
My partner and I manage extensive herb growing, but they're all in pots, never directly in the garden. Not all herbs are weeds, but I don't have the time or patience to investigate which ones exactly are and which are not, so I control them in pots.
The other one I know is a weed is chives. That thing grows out of control.

I do! I'm all abut the gardening. My boyfriend is more into plants, but I like the thing as well. So far I have a really healthy chilly plant, cherry tomato plant as well as strawberries. Strawberries are cool because they last up to 3 seasons and they reproduce themselves, so I'm expecting some more strawberries next year too.
Chillies are so many this year, I put some away in a bottle with olive oil, so I'll have chilly olive oil and some chillies this winter. Some of them I dried and the rest, I don't know yet.
Stupid chipmunks ate some of my strawberries this year, but next year I'm going to buy a little fence to put around it.
Oh yes, and I have lots of herbs in pots - currently I have chives, basil, oregano, parsley (that got killed by basil because we planted it in the same pot) some rosemary and lemon tyme.

i am really interested.. tell me more. my mom's neighbor when she moved in next door when we were younger planted some plants and a fruit vegetable garden which almost everyone has.
but the squirrel ate her stuff as did ours like my mom strawberries and tomatoes even though we had a small fenced area.. they dont care they get in regardless.
i thought it was funny.. just plant more, more then they can eat and it was done just for fun anyways.
our neighbor didnt share our view and she put rat poison and other stuff and we started finding squirrels dead on our property and small birds as well.. my mom called the city and reported her. she got fined and told to stop.
