Default greenhouses and starting garden plants

I'm a beginning gardener looking forward to this years garden and
would like some idea of what I can start and when.

I'm in 7b and have a small homespun "greenhouse" (8' * 8'), this keeps
the night time temps about 10 degrees off the outside and daytime temps
upwards of 30 degrees warmer. I've added thermal mass and insulation,
and if needed I can raise the temps 10 degrees by turning on a 250W heat
lamp.

Would this be a suitable enviornment for germinating seeds for my garden?

Should I start about a month or so before the last frost date?

Gives me mid Feb for an average last 24 and March 24 for the average
last 32.

I had too late a start for snow peas last year, they did well until
it warmed up and I'm thinking I need to really get an early start.
