Things look healthy but I'd venture to guess the beets and turnips are planted way too closely and you won't get good root development.
The good thing is, they do transplant well if you give them the space to grow and form good bulbs.
Some people don't realize that those beet seeds are not a single seed, but a small cluster of seeds and several will pop up when they sprout. I let them get to about 3-4 inches tall and then separate them and give them 4 inches all around to mature. You probably need a bit more room for the turnips to form nice bulbs.

Looks great! 
I'm jealous. My beets aren't that far along.

I’m going thin them out…use the greens for salads. Beet greens are my favorite

My carrots don't want to come up from seed this fall.
Any advice appreciated.

carrot seeds take a while to germinate and must be kept moist until they do. Most everything else in my experience is sow and go but carrot seeds need to be babied until they sprout

looks like its going to get below 32 here in the fla parishes next week. besides protecting tender plants, its a good chance to get sown any seeds that require cold stratification to break dormancy. i just sowed a bunch of marsh mallow and poppy seeds so hopefully i'll get a good sprout of both in the spring

For carrots, keeping them moist is the key. Water and cover ith a board or cardboard until they germinate.
