How close can a vegetable garden safely be planted from a creosote retaining wall?

At the back of our lot is a large retaining wall that is made of creosote rail ties. This location is also the best site for a vegetable garden. Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the railway ties so we need to work around them. Our plan is to build the garden two feet out from the wall and seperate it with an impermeable cloth of some sort. Does anyone have any further suggestions or recommendations for working around this problem?
