You can look up sowing times on T&M's site:

Seed packets usually have this info too :~)

Normally, just wait until Spring (read teh seed packet or just wait until
late march). If you germinate seeds now, most plants will hate you for it
as it will be dank and grim and dark for months.

Primroses are possibly OK now - certainly self-collected ones seem
better sown fresh, ie late summer. Though now might be too late.

Things that need chilling before they'll geminate are another
possibility.

Sweet peas are good sown in autumn, again, I think now might be a bit
too late.

Could use the greenhouse for other things, eg starting pots of bulbs,
giving them a bit of winter shelter without getting them too warm.
