    Since you generally plant the corn first in this type of garden, you'll want to make sure that the soil is warm – at least 55-65 degrees F. before planting. This article should help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/children/a-three-sisters-garden.htm

    It should be ok. I would water it well and till or hand dig the soil well to mix the ash into the soil before planting anything, just to make sure that the ash is not too concentrated and burns a plant.

    Your watering program may be leaching the nutrients from the soil, always a problem with sandy soil. Try watering less, but deeply, and use your foliar fertilizer more often.

    If you have older seeds lying around, it is entirely possible that they have lost some of their viability. As seeds age, the likelihood that they will germinate decreases. However, you can test the viability of seeds in one of two ways:

    Slightly dampen a paper towel and place the sample seeds on it. Fold the barely damp paper towel it in half over the seeds. Enclose in plastic wrap or place inside a sealed plastic bag so it will stay damp. Label the package with seed name and date. Set the package in a relatively warm place (70 to 75 degrees) such as the top of your refrigerator or on a high shelf. Do not put it in direct sun. OR you can simply float them in water. If they sink, they're still good and if they float, toss them.
