When I was growing up my mom planted carrots, horseradish, strawberries, peas and all sorts of things on the leach field. It was the only place anything would grow, due to the soil being "rock". Everyone thought we were weird, but we were the only ones that had fresh fruit and veggies from our "garden" at dinner.
Be sure you are very careful with your septic system it can be very expensive to replace it. Bleach and baking soda should be used sparingly (since you have city water it is probably already treated, so I wouldn't ever use bleach-take it to a laundromat). Don't hook up a water softener to it, when they recharge, it puts way to much salt in the system, which could cause it to fail. Never dump anything down your drain you wouldn't want to water your plants with. Garbage disposals are very bad. Make sure your toilet paper is septic safe, but be careful because some tp's say they are septic safe and even have some sort of organization stamp on them (Sharmin-misspelled on purpose) that says they are safe, but are not. Do not flush tissue paper. Never park on your leach field.
Things you should flush on occasion, and when they are available: yeast and expired yogurt.
I have a well and a septic. I was told many decades ago that 90% of my water that goes through my septic and leach field will eventually end up back in my well (I don't know how long it would take), so that helps me make decisions on what gets flushed, what gets tossed and what I throw out the back door for the critters.
I currently have wild strawberries and raspberries on my septic, they are delish!
