Default wood ash on veg plot

I'm just digging our vegetable patch over and intend to grow: potatoes;
beans etc; brassicas and roots in 4 quarters next year. We have an open
fire
which we use fire lighters to light but then just burn wood on. Can I put
the ash onto the veg garden (or any other part of the garden) and if so
which of the 4 quarters can ~I put it onto. Thanks in advance,

Adding wood ash makes your soil more alkaline...if that helps you.
