Almanac Entry
Gem Squash squashes zombies, then gives you a gem.

Cost: 300 sun

Recharge: Very Slow

The mad scientist Dr. Zomboss again worked on his experiments and accidently combined a pile of gems with a Squash. That Squash is very angry and almost kill Dr. Zomboss ... Almost. Now that Squash is a Gem Squash. But he is unhappy because the gems are extremely pointy. Because that, he hates Dr. Zomboss so much!

Strategy
Gem Squash is a very good plant. You'll get some gems if you squash a zombie. But since its recharge is very slow, imitate it. A cheat is to use it in Last Stand, then after they're all gone, restart the level and do the exactly same thing many times. You'll see how much gems you have now.

Plant Food
Like Squash, it squashes 2 strongest zombies oncreeen, each gives 2 gems, then return to its tile.
