-
-	* Catapult plants can hit Snorkel zombies even when they're submerged.
-
-	* Torchwoods can light up a very small area of fog.
-
-	* If you remove Cattails with Pumpkins covered, they become Lily Pads again.
-
-	* If any zombies in the Dancing zombie's group are slowed down by Snow Peas of Winter Melons, the entire group is slowed down.
-
-	* Chompers can't kill Gargantuars, but they can bite them and deal some damage.
-
-	* Potato Mines placed in Pumpkins can also explode when the zombies bite the Pumpkins (though the zombies don't make real contacts with the Potato Mines).
-
-	* When a Pumpkin is crushed, the plant inside will be crushed too. Since the Pumpkins are fatter than normal plants:
-
-	~~+ Zombonies and Gargantuars will take less time to crush plants with Pumpkins than plants without Pumpkins.~~
-
-	~~+ Catapults will crush plants with Pumpkins in the second column, but NOT plants without Pumpkins in the second column.~~
-
-	* Also, because Pumpkins are fatter than normal plants, exploded Jack-in-the-boxes take out all plants in a 3x3 area AND all Pumpkins near the area.

Some people, however, will use the [[Garden Rake]] or the [[Potato Mine]] and wait until the second zombie. It is strongly recommended that you have at least a column of Sunflowers, though some players like to have two. With 2 columns of Sunflowers ready you should have enough sun to set up a powerful build and defeat any zombie.	+	Usually, the first thing that you do in ANY day level is planting Sunflowers in the first or second column to the left.
