Default How can I amend my garden soil?

Last season my garden started out alright, but now it just isn't doing as well. I did a soil test and the pH was 6.0-7.0, the nitrogen was very low, Phosphorus was low, and the potash was low-medium. (Ferry Morse kit) I did have some tree choppings as a cover for weeds, and I assume that they sucked the nitrogen out of the soil. Right now I have chopped leaves and grass over the garden now. Hopefully it will compost. I also added some coffee grounds. Is there anything else I can add?

I am hoping to plant some crocus, daffofils, hyacynth, phlox, daylillies, raspberries, and grapes. (Herbs thrown in there somewhere too) I know it is an odd mixture, but is there a way I can make the soil suitable for all of the plants?
