My strategy: I don't like edible Reeds, so I use spikey-ol instead. works pretty good and slow gargs.

Plants needed: Twin Sunflower, Winter Melon, Grave Buster ( out if there aren't any graves at the start or there are but at more right columns without tomb raisers ), Potato Mine ( can take out even explorers ), Spikerock ( key man that lose to Gargs ) and Tall-nut ( if there are pharoahs and/or no Gargs ).

If you remove the Grave Buster  or  Tall-nut according to the above condition, replace them with Cherry Bomb. If you remove both, pick Iceberg Lettuce in.

Long term strategy: gets every plant except Spring Bean ( in case you are short of Plant Food, the game might give you +1 of it and you will lack lots of sun ( PF can drop easily ).

In-Level strategy: starts off with twin suns. plant ahead for 2 columns of them and use mines to intercept the zombies ( while clearing the graves if you pick the buster ). Once 3 or more zombies come at once in consecutive lanes, plant winter melon at the middle lane. Then clean the rest of them. Try plant at least 2 columns of them. Then, spikey field. You don't have to worry the tomb raiser and the explorer this way. Use nuts or melons to defeat pharoah waves. Use mines and bombs to defeat the gargs quickly. Also, if there are gargs, plant twin sunflowers in the 2&3 column ( the most left would be for melons to take imps out. )
