sowing seeds now for spring

Hi all.
So at the moment I have one of those mini greenhouses with the plastic covering etc, but i'm eager to get some seeds going ready for spring. I don't have much room inside the house at the moment to keep seed trays inside so i'm wondering if anyone here can advise if there are any seeds I can sow now and keep outside over winter that will then hopefully start popping up in early spring?

Am in suffolk, UK if it makes any difference
Thanks

Sweet peas, some varieties of broad beans. Best to go by instructions on packets. Many hardy annuals can be sown now for an early start, and perennials that need a cold period to start germination.

As dint says, read the packets. A word of warning though, if you sow now in a mini greenhouse, the seeds will think it’s spring and may get ahead of themselves
