Joyous I think I am lucky then, our lowest temp. got down to -7C in my neighbour's greenhouse, probably -9C outside, or 16F. That is a rarity, we have had a few frosts to -5 or -6C and the hard one has knocked back my outside fuchsias which were actually growing new shoots and buds, and had still got most of their leaves. That is also an unknown, but now I guess they will just grow from the base as usual. A lot of tender plants were in growth still in the GH until that hard frost. Your temps are just a little too low for may plants, good luck with the ideas!

In the end greenhouse I have a grape vine, it had plenty on last year and I had some beautiful queen wasps to share them with me. They are fairly small and sweet, but have too many pips, but can be crushed to make great fresh juice.
