Vegetable Garden Problems

Question

I added fireplace ash to the garden in fall and over the winter. I am having trouble with getting tomato plants to thrive and some of my other plants are doing poorly (eggplant, peas, cucumber). I have never added ash before and never had this much trouble before. Is it the ash? Can I salvage my garden yet this year?
