What can I grow in my new greenhouse?

Hello

I'm a greenfingered newbie so please bear with me!
I have just bought a little greenhouse from Poundstretcher, three shelves with a plastic cover.
I have some tomatoes in there which I have grown from seed - they are about 3-4 inch tall. Is it ok to leave them in there at night with the cover zipped up? :o

Also, what else can I start growing in there at present?

Thanks!

    I am growing at mo

    Sweet peas, radish, courgettes, French beans, African marigolds, onions, spring onions, nasturtiums to name but a few

    Still time to grow all above

    I also take lots of cuttings, grown in small pots and put 3/4 lemonade/coke bottle with top on with some holes in and place in a sheltered shaded place
