You can bury items and plant trees, bamboo, shrubs, flowers, pumpkins, and weeds on the glitched path.

However, you still cannot plant palm trees on any path besides a sand path and the beach.

Reverts Back to Normal After Save

You can't dig holes and plant items on the glitched path after you save.

Any items you planted while the paths were glitched will remain after saving though!
