Commentary:
Last week we had Sling Pea; a plant which only targets the five (5) closest zombies. This week we have its opposite; BoomBerry; which only targets the last zombie in a lane. We didn't think of this combination but we really should try it out.

Some players advocate plants which target the closest zombies - Homing Thistle, Sling Pea and so on. Others advocate pushing the zombies back - Hurrikale, Tumbleweed, Chard Guard.

Bottom Line:
BoomBerry gives you a lot of firepower for the cost. The problem is - can you handle its drawbacks?
