Gardeneer,

For sweet greens try Dwarf Grey pea shoots. Taste just like sweet peas.
For peppery, try arugula, any of the mustards, radish or make a spicy mix with several kinds of mustard plus curly cress and arugula. Any of the cool season vegetables should produce well in your cold frame. As long as it doesn't get down to 16F again!!
