Great
Grew these in the spring and they have done very well. Large greens and small to medium roots, just like the picture. Greens have held up well in warmer temperatures (80s) and the insects seem to avoid them. Great flavor, too. Will definitely grow again. San Antonio, TX, zone 8b.

Very low germination rate
I got 1 seed to germinate out of 3 dozen that I seeded and reseeded. So here I am 1.5 months after my first seeding with much fewer beets than desired while other people I know have bunches, including the person who shares a plot with me and has identical soil and watering habits. I have to think the issue is with the seeds. I bought some from home depot last week and did a third seeding so I'll soon be able to truly see if it's the seeds or something else.
