    I stepped into them a lot. Some people find it difficult to look before every step they take. I cannot do that. Blooming time is long and playing kids pay less attention to their surroundings.

    Edit: like 5 times. Which is an issue if you stop being able to walk after you step into them.

      Do you not have a dedicated area for play? If you have kids, you’re supposed to have a dedicated area with no foliage (like a marble/sand/gravel or whatever mowed/bare patch they can chill in). Btw, this isn’t just for clover, it’s for grass too, because ticks exist and they love grass/clover patches.

      Also clover bloom peaks during late June and early July, meaning outside of those periods the flowers are sparse and can be avoided easily. There are solutions to this. If you currently have clover, just mow a play area down for the kids, with a path leading to the house and maintain it. It doesn’t have to be the whole yard.
