Ashes from Wild Cherry trees.

Question

We cut down 16 Wild Cherry trees that were in our front lawn this winter (they had borers). We burned the smaller branches and now have a pile of ashes, is it alright to use the ashes on the garden area before planting? It will be between 2-3 months before we plant.
