Good for summer cover... grows tall!
I'm not sure about "field pea" either. DO you mean cow pea / summer pea?
Really doubt winter planting is appropriate. Fava beans / broad beans are the correct autumn plant...
Suggest turnip / collards / kale...
Wheat should be fine... I often plant annual poppies as cover...
Looking forward to pictures...
