Absolutely yes. One of the best things you can put in, without doubt.

I recommend Farmyard plants @TheMadHedger - they grow a massive range of interesting plants.

Most plants that try to grow under glass in winter end up leggy in my experience. The advantage of a cold frame is total ventilation when ever the temperature is above freezing. Less problems with fungus as well.
