    Check out this resource on salt tolerant plants. It is for Pender County. If you live in another part of VA, check the Cooperative Extension Service for your county. https://www.ces.ncsu.edu/files/library/71/Salt%20Tolerant%20Plants.pdf

    consider various varieties of pole beans. Vigorous growth will blook the view all summer, provide interesting flowering and colorful, edible beans, and after the frosts, there will still be vines and leaves. Consider when you are outside enjoying the space and seeking privacy, as this is probably in the growing season.
    I have grown Kentucky Pole Beans, purple pole beans, yard long asien beans, and broad beans, and all will vigourously fill every space on your fence.

    Plow-down rye is an annual grass so as long as it doesn't bloom and go to seed, it should not keep going. Usually it is turned under about 3 weeks before planting to get the composting process well on its way.
