Your assumption is correct - no walking from sprouts-up until bloom is over, and then not much until mowing time in late spring. After that, feel free to play volleyball or roll around disporting yourself in whatever manner appeals.

And you probably already know this, but just in case someone else is reading: thyme and moss will take some foot traffic, but wouldn’t stand the pounding they’d get on a frequently travelled path. If you’re thinking about direct routes through the yard, stepping stones through the pretties (with lots of same in the cracks between) are the smarter way to go.

I am assuming the answer is no, but had to ask….
