Before you take the time and expense make sure it will get enough light to grow anything. Secondly, being in pines, the soil will likely be highly acidic due to the pine needles. Lime will be needed in a big way!

If you're going to go ahead and plant I would go with annual rye. It grows just about anywhere! Fertilizer wise, if you're gonna use lawn fertilizer make sure its straight fertilizer and not mixed with weed preventer. The weed preventer part is usually 2/4D which will nuke broadleaves.
