an update to the singing sunflower quest chain

Firstly, thank you to those who offered suggestions and particular to whoever it was who suggested using multiple lashers. That worked a treat for me.

For anyone else who is trying it, may I heartily suggest the following strategy which has worked for me now on three occasions.

For the last two rounds, you do the following:

1 - get your back line of sunflowers up as soon as you can. If necessary, put in some blocks at the far end to slow them down until you do. In particular, for the last round you need as close as possible to two full rows of sunflowers. It means it gets a bit crazy grabbing all the energy balls but it makes it possible to keep your defense up.

2 - start putting in lashers in the 4th row as soon as you can. Drop in blockers to protect them while you stack them up. The lashers are mighty fine defensive fighters.

My final round build looked like this:

Back row - sunflowers
second back row - sunflowers or sunflowers and slowers
third row - lashers
fourth row - lashers
Plus other lashers as you can fill them in
with blockers at the far end where necessary

That build means that even if they get through the first row of lashers, the second row is there to hit them. Keep your sunflowers in place, if they get poisoned in the final round rebuild them immediately.

And save up for the pumpkin bombs. They are vital for taking out the large nasties.

I didnt bother with the spitters for the last two rounds. they cost too much and were much less effective than the lashers.
