Yes, you can plant in it. I would add some peat, and use an organic fertilizer. Mulch etc. They will do fine. If it stays too moist you can mix builder's sand (sharp sand), grit sized granite (grit gravel), Napa floor dry (100% Diatomaceous earth) or perlite into the beds, or at least around the plants. Or any combination of these.
I filled my beds with 1/4 garden soil, 1/4 compost 1/4 ,and 1/4 yard waste including branches, old potting soil, leaves, kitchen scraps, corn stalks. and misc yard waste.and scrap non treated wood at the bottom, anything big at the bottom. Waited a year. Mulch with pine straw, or pine bark fines.

Every year you will need to add more, shred leaves add in the fall, refill with compost.
