     winter wheat or winter rye (the grains) will work   
   for that.  :)   
      
     any green cover crop that will sprout quickly   
   (radish, turnips, field peas, etc.) can help but those   
   that live through the cold and can grow even in cooler   
   temperatures are the nicest to look at.   
      
     you just have to be sure to get them turned under   
   soon enough to allow them to decompose enough before   
   you get to planting your following crops.   
      
     some people wait too long and that can impact there   
   later plantings.
