I finished level 35 of Pyramid of Doom.

When there are levels with Gargantuars, I use this strategy: You will use these plants: Twin Sunflower, Winter Melon, Melon-Pult, Grave-Buster (if there are a lot of graves), Potato Mine/Chili Bean, Cherry Bomb/Iceberg Lettuce and Spikerock. When you have to pick up a card, pick the 200 Sun card. When the level starts, plant a Twin Sunflower in the 4th column. If there are only graves there, plant it in the 5th column. Use 4 Plant Food on it, purchase some if you need them. This may seem like a lot, and you could probably do it with three, but 4 is better overall. If you chose the extra Plantfood card in the start, use 4 Plant Food on it. If you're worried about coins, you can easily win them back by playing Canons Away (or Day 3, 11 and 20 in PS) a few times. Start busting graves with the Grave Buster. Plant some more Twin Sunlowers in the 4th row, while stalling zombies with Potato Mines/Chili Beans (mines are better for Gargs) and Iceberg Lettuce. If there are still too many graves, you can use a Cherry Bomb instead of an Iceberg Lettuce, but I usually don't have to. Start planting Winter-Melons in the first row, and Potato-Mines in the 6th row. By the first wave (or your only wave) you should have a lane of Winter Melons and a row of Twin Sunflowers or more. When the first Gargs come, stall them with Potato Mines you planted before. Start planting Melon-Pults in the 2nd row and Spikerocks in the 3rd row. Stall Gargs with more potato mines, iceberg lettuces and spikerock. It sounds odd, but I found that it actually works. I've killed hordes of Gargs this way. You just have to stall them, and with two columns of Twin Sunflowers it's very easy. You could replace Iceberg Lettuce with Cherry Bombs, but I haven't tested this, but it would probably work as well. If you want, you can plant some Melon-Pults in the 6th row after the mines explode, but you don't have to. Just remember to always plant the Spikerocks and Potato Mines when your Gargs are near the Sunflowers. Imps aren't a problem. If there are little graves at the start, replace Grave Buster with Cherry Bomb.

Levels without Gargs: This is much easier. You don't need Spikerocks for this one. Instead, pick the Wall-Nut. Remember to take Twin Sunflower, Grave Buster (if needed), Winter Melon, Melon Pult, Potato Mine/Chili Bean, Cherry Bomb/Iceberg Lettuce and, as I said, Wall Nut. Plant Twin Sunlowers in the 2nd and 3rd rows (doesn't really matter much where you plant them) and use three PF on it (you could probably do it with 2 as well). Plant Winter-Melons in the first row while stalling other zombies with the instants. Plant Wall-Nuts in the 7th row, and fill the 4th, 5th and 6th row with Melon-Pults (two rows should be just fine) and you're good to go. Stall the inital Pharaoh Zombies by freezing them or using the mines on them, and after placing the Wall-Nuts you have nothing to worry about. With this layout, Pharaoh Zombies die on the first square, sometimes without stepping on it. You could use Spikerocks instead of Cherry Bombs, but you don't have to.
