Default Un-heated polytunnel use

Hi all

I bought and installed a poly tunnel in my NW of England garden, Oct 2010.
I've been kitting it out ready for use and have made the staging and
flooring from skip dived pallets. It took a lot of hard work but the savings
were worth it. I also got some top soil from my daughters school which I
filled the beds with, mixing in 4 bags of garden centre compost I had over.
I bought a variety of seeds, onions,carrots,peppers,tomatoes...etc. and
fancy having a go at growing from seed and keeping some plants like chillies
in pots in the tunnel. I know there's not a great deal of room in the tunnel
so I was hoping some experienced gardeners could give advice on when to
start seeds before moving to tunnel and maybe what to grow in certain beds
and what to grow in pots, in fact any ideas what to do and improve my
harvest with what I have.

I have googled info, but you can't beat this group for instruction and sound
advice from its immense volume of experienced gardeners. I was hoping the
replies would also benefit others that come across it's heading for future
reference too.

I apologies for not specifying exact crop but I am a total newbie to
propagating and then growing in an un-heated greenhouse, so will be trying
and adjusting to each comment made through this posting. Please click my
links below to see my floor plan, site and actual tunnel for referencing.
