You may have better luck if you soak them first. See:

I've been having trouble with beet seeds this year also, and
I *have* pre-soaked them. They *still* don't want to
sprout.

The latest batch (soaking now) was also roughed up with
sandpaper. If this doesn't help, I'll knick the next trial
batch with a knife.

It's very annoying.
