Can I use the space between my Asparagus rows?

Shropshire, United Kingdom

In April I planted a new Asparagus bed, with two rows and 3 ft in between the rows. With this huge gap going to waste, can I plant something in between whilst the Asparagus is settling in? I wasn't thinking of any root vegetable, but something with shallow roots that would produce something good to eat.

I regularly grow lettuce which I have started in the greenhouse, in-between the rows of asparagus.I have not experienced any problems
at all.

Thank you all so much for your replies this has been helpful. Excellent link given by Mookins, I shall bookmark this to use again. I have radish, spinach and lettuce seeds and some tomato plants, so I can take my choice of which to grow.
