Sulphate of ammonia is a nitrogen-only fertiliser and won't be much help to plants which are suffering from the cold (unless you find a way of setting light to it!  :lol:)

Although nitrogen is the first nutrient to leach away in high rainfall it's not the only thing plants need - I'd suggest a dressing with a balanced fertiliser, or more fast-acting, a watering with something like Miracle Grow, Phostrogen, or comfrey tea to make sure they're not having to battle with starvation as well as hypothermia.  ;)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!
