Looks good, overall, to me...but I'm not even close to a novice. Some values seem very high? Thoughts?

If that were my 1000 sq. foot patch I would add four or five large bales of peat, 1 bag of pelletized agriculture lime and a pray for the seeds that should love it. In the fall I would head for more manures.....like four inches over all plus all the leaf material I could get in. A cover crop would put it to sleep for the winter.
Unless a big voice comes from a big cloud on the 6th. Friday of March I would not do much else.
Grow us a big one!
