whats the difference between a green house and a raised outdoor bed?

Can you taste a difference in the vegetables? easier to grow?

A greenhouse allows you to start seedlings in it early. Inside that green house, if it’s say 38 degrees outside with a wind chill of 30 and there’s no cloud cover it’s probably 70+ inside the greenhouse. Most veggie seeds need to be around 60-80 degrees to germinate that’s why people start seeds “indoors” with grow lights. Well if you use grow lights and don’t do it appropriately, all your plants get leggy (real long and weak) and you basically wasted your seed, time, and effort. I became tired of growing plants in my house, in my garage, or in my sheds. Ran out of room, got tires of water getting every where. My greenhouse is right by my garden so I have a water hose that I just bring into the green house and just water everything, that’s why I have the table tops that are plastic so the water runs through it. Raised beds are not covered. If you wanted to you could grow plants in the green house but it would take up a lot of room, plus I would need a vent and possibly a fan to be able to control the temperature. I’m looking mainly for heat and sunlight so I don’t worry about that. As soon as I can I will provide a description of the greenhouse and the websites I purchased the material from
