What I see right off is an excessive amount of Mn to Fe. Could cause Fe deficiency. Might want to look into that one.
Sheesh! Mn is a micro. How did you get so much in there?

You have lots of nutrients here, but you need organic matter. I would try to get as much as you can, in this fall, lots of leaves and or a cover crop if possible. If you can afford lots of peat moss would be possitive as well.

CountryKid is correct....more manure and leaves. I cannot believe that your SO4-S is correct...mine is 15 ppm. If it is...you'd better not fart near your patch or the entire patch might go up in flames! ;>)

also notice that in the second patch you have only 1.9 organic matter. the leaves should help with that too.
