Cover Crop?


Hello all,
I have a few questions about cover crops.  Every fall, I add at least a
ton of maple leaves to my patch.  I have done this for the past four
years.  I have been reading about cover crops and wonder, if I sow the
winter rye, how will I add my leaves, if I wait 'til after I till in the
leaves, it will be November before I get the rye planted.  Is this too
late?  Is it supposed to grow before winter, or does it winter over and
then grow in the spring?  Do I till in dead rye, or is it green and
growing in May?    Please advise!  Thanks!
