Here are 20 crops with relatively short gestation periods:

  1. Radish (Raphanus sativus) - 3-4 weeks
  2. Arugula (Eruca vesicaria) - 3-4 weeks
  3. Cress (Lepidium sativum) - 2-3 weeks
  4. Mustard greens (Brassica juncea) - 3-4 weeks
  5. Mizuna (Brassica rapa var. japonica) - 3-4 weeks
  6. Baby kale (Brassica oleracea) - 4-6 weeks
  7. Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) - 6-8 weeks
  8. Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) - 6-8 weeks
  9. Bok choy (Brassica rapa) - 6-8 weeks
  10. Swiss chard (Beta vulgaris) - 6-8 weeks
  11. Turnip greens (Brassica rapa) - 4-6 weeks
  12. Pea shoots (Pisum sativum) - 2-3 weeks
  13. Microgreens (various) - 1-2 weeks
  14. Green onions (Allium cepa) - 6-8 weeks
  15. Kohlrabi (Brassica oleracea var. gongylodes) - 6-8 weeks

These crops are all relatively fast-growing and can be harvested quickly after planting, making them popular choices for home gardens, market gardens, and small-scale farming. Some of them, like microgreens, can even be grown indoors and harvested within a few days. It's worth noting that the gestation period can vary based on the growing conditions and cultivation practices.
