I would suggest envisioning the structure as a box with a shed roof, and immediately behind the windowed wall would be a beam supported by sturdy posts on good footings. The windowed wall, while standing on the foundation of your in-ground greenhouse perimeter, shouldn't be designed as a primary load-bearing element of the design. Otherwise, you're adding all kinds of nasty geometric force vector complications. The way it's designed now, the door is just to the side of where your end post would be anyway, and you'd just need to plan for adding a couple more in the middle. They probably wouldn't even impede your work flow inside.
Thanks ive done as you mentioned i think, increased the size of the leading beam and supported seperate from the front glazed wall. Im sure its over kill for the weight of the front wall/roof glazing materials but id rather not risk it for the little extra itll cost and should be able to recoup that elsewhere
