I'd leave this one be until spring. Perhaps then too.

You'll be keeping an eye on Magnesium & Potash all year with Calcium saturation like this though.

Interestingly enough the last soil test in this particular garden was done in Fall of '99. I'm sure things have changed since but it helped me grow a big one in '03. No lime or gypsum has been applied since then. Only ironite and 10-10-10 2 yrs. ago. I will get an extensive test done in spring. Thanks for your responses. Don
