I tend to overwinter stuff rather than grow in it. You will need heating to grow in cold temperatures. I sow come January but do all that on windowsills.

Lou I sow 'Arctic king' and 'All the year round' lettuce around the last week in August then that gets planted in my greenhouse border once the toms have finished, means I have lettuce to eat all through winter.

As well as the hardy lettuces suggested, you can also sow various mustards in late summer which will grow only bit when it's really cold but then take off quickly in late winter/early spring. I like Red Frills and Red Giant in particular.

I've also had success with spring onions, corn salad, land cress, komatsuna (or mustard spainach) and this year, by accident, I did potatoes

You don't need to heat the greenhouse for these

I planted spuds in aug/sept, then moved the bags into the greenhouse when empty, and had freshly grown salad spuds (charlotte) for xmas.

It was bloomin cold in there, and the halums had obviously suffered. Bar that, winter hardy leafs, such as lettuce all the yr round, mustard, and any cuttings that I'm trying to get ahead. I believe two sheds has her greenhouse stuffed all year round, so she may be able to offer more insight into what she grows all year around.
