Melons on the last column, make sure the winter melons are on the 2nd and 4th row of the column.

Split Peas on the 3rd column

Lightning Reeds on the 5th column

Pea Pods on the Mine Carts

Chili Beans and Tall-nuts on the 6th column

Strategy: Use Plant Food on Lightning reeds when zomboss is alone. (Game won)

I used a similar strategy, but with some changes: namely, Lightning Reeds were on 3rd column, and the Pea Pod was placed on Column #2's minecart. Usually you deal enough damage to Zomboss that you rarely see Prospectors getting through, so you're wasting some time setting Split Peas at 3rd. Lightning Reeds chain to other enemies, and fire faster than Split Peas, so the end result is that you're dealing just as much damage to zombies as you would with regular peas, even if the Lightning damage is 1/16th of a pea. This allows setting Tall-Nuts and Chili Beans on columns 5th and 6th, though the Chili Bean was best placed whenever there were too many zombies.

The battle took me three lawnmowers at first, but it's not that hard. The War Wagon specialty is disappointing (4 missiles that automatically destroy your plants; I'd have expected something unique and not a repeat of Sphinx-inator). As expected, not only did we got Winter Melons (it's the last plant you get in the game for free!), we also got Chicken Wranglers at 3rd, which is a massive breath of fresh air. Considering that Pianists only appear at first is probably why it's so easy; set at last with Chicken Wranglers, or making the War Wagon shoot chickens alongside those missiles would have been like Armaggeddon on the field.

BTW: I noticed the update on iOS, and I got the news on Android the next day. I rarely see the update appear on Android, so it was probably updated automatically? Now, St. Paddy's, and then MAYBE Far Future; the last thing we want is PopCap doing like Valve...the new company that can't count to three.
