Cold Greenhouse

In a recent February edition of Garden News, Carol Klein wrote in her regular column, that she sows her seeds, in a cold greenhouse. I just wondered if forum members had any thoughts on this, or perhaps had experience of this?
I myself usually start mine off in the house. Pot them on and then, fiddle around, finding enough space, to give them, optimum light.
I am considering, after reading this article, if it would be feasible, to move the newly potted on seedlings, into a south facing unheated greenhouse in Cumbria . Covering with a thick layer of fleece if the night-time temperatures should drop.
Are my pampered and carefully tended seedlings doomed? Is Carol Klein leading me up the garden path?

What plants are you growing ? some bedding plants like Antirrhium / pelargoniums are Perennials / short livid and will stand colder temperatures compared to busy lizzie which will soon die.
Dining room table it is then........dinner on a tray, until April?
Seriously you have all been very generous, sharing your wealth of experience and advice. Thank you all.
Off to plant some more seeds. Back soon!
