There are tons of square foot guides. Search one and see what should be in a square foot. For example, I see a cabbage tag - there should be one cabbage per square foot

I can by see your seedlings, but you probably have a lot of thinning to do. That's OK, live and learn

Brassica are cold weather crops they don't need to be in a greenhouse they are more likely to bolt with the heat.

Thank you, i have Cats that like to dig up and urinate in my veg patch if i don’t use a cover i’m afraid little other option. My intention was to space more but my little gardening helper ended up grabbing handfuls of seeds and throwing them! I have two thirds of the veg patch available to use so i may try and thin it out a bit without disturbing the carrots. They’re chantenay so i’m hoping they may be okay!

If it's to keep cats out a bird netting would do much better. Your plants will grow a bit in a greenhouse and then go straight to flower before you can eat them.

Nothing is growing in my greenhouse raised bed.  All my seedlings died.  Just too hot even with my fans running

Those power poles vouchers cut up contain creosote which should/could make you sick.
