By 1:19 I've got a firework above the garden and am ready to start getting flowers. I did that because I knew that in 1 more turn the water would make the match for me. You'll notice at 1:11 I blow up a firework even though I could have matched a water and cleared a chain.

This is a good benchmark for how far you will need to be. By the time I have 26 turns left at 0:54, I only have 5 chains in the bottom section below the water. I then just take a couple of baby steps to clear chains wherever possible, even if it is only 1 at a time. In the video on this page I got a bit lucky with the 2 bombs at the start, and by 0:36 I had blown up one of them and removed heaps of the chains which are blocking the bottom garden. This can take a bit of skill to picture where all the blocks will be after they fall down and then take a clockwise movement. It means that once the blocks have finished falling from your move, all of the water will move clockwise. Levels that have the moving water require a little bit more preplanning than plain still levels.
