==Strategies==

Plants like and will actually benefit from being pulled forward, as it makes them able to reach zombies much easier, as they are still able to attack while being pulled.
Alternatively, a good way to stop Harpoon Zombie from reeling in your plants is to dig up the plants caught, as if it is interrupted mid-pull, it will immediately stop, and all the plants return to their base spots.
