St. Louis: Winter crop for veggie garden?

I just started my first small veggie garden at our new house. Our soil is fairly poor, lots of clay.

I'm wondering if there is anything I can plant for the off-season that might help the soil? Some sort of winter crop that might add nutrients.

I'm trying to go natural and would like to avoid fertilizers and the like. I've read a bit about 'green manure' (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Green_manure) and am curious if anyone has done anything like this in their home garden.

Thanks.
