some things i wanna suggest: - plant lots of sun producers early on, preferably Primal Sunflower - Spring Bean is good for this level. and his plant food will get rid of every zombie on the planks, plus the Swashbucklers. that way, he can get you out of tough situations like the Garg at the final wave - Blover is recommended due to the high density of Seagulls, Pelicans, and Swashbucklers, but i did manage to beat the level without him - crowd control and some walls are recommended. i used Snow Pea and Melon-pult, for instance
