Tell Santa that size really does matter ;~))) You need a really big one
please. Whatever size you get it is never going to be big enough. Bigger
greenhouses are also easier to control temperature wise. Early salad stuff
is nice even simple things like mustard & cress - that's something quick &
easy for the kids to do. Unless it's well heated and you have somewhere to
move still tender young plants on to, don't be in too much of a hurry to
get things like bedding plants sown - wait 'til the days get a bit longer.
Same with tomatoes unless they are going to stay in the heated greenhouse.
Have some space for things that are going to live in the greenhouse and
some for a succession of things that are going to be moved through as the
season goes on - like your bedding plants, early veg for growing outside
etc.
