Can anyone suggest something that is heat and light loving, which
could be productive in such a spot?

Grape vine. Root it near a water downspout off the roof, and train it
across the wall.

What does a grape vines root system look like? I ask because there's
some (3) planted not too far from my septic drain field. They're
about 3 1/2 years old.

Normally, they go straight down, looking for water. If the water is to
the left of them, they will go left (at least part of them will).
