What can I plant over our new cesspool (where we had lots of rhodies, azaleas, and andromedas before)? It's a large triangular space in the front of our house. I want something year round and fast growers, if that's possible. We live in Suffolk County, New York.

Cesspools are pretty deep. Any plant that stays under 4 feet tall at full maturity should work fine. Mine did, but I lived in Lancaster, CA. High desert area. We even had a small tree near it. It was already there when we moved in, so I don't know what kind it was. Not sure if the root would eventually interfere with the function of drainage, but the guy who pumped ours said anything directly over should be around 4 to 5 feet at full maturity. So I went on the safe side and stayed at 4 feet max.
