Sweet....The purist would want to see the Calcium come up a bit. I would too.
100 lbs of Gypsum per 1000 sq ft.
The Penn State lab people might disagree with this but they're not Giant Pumpkin people.
The chart values of P & K are disturbingly vague. Perhaps you can call the lab & ask for lbs per Acre or PPM values.
You might also benefit from a small amount of commercial fert like 19-19-19 but without the real values I hesitate to say.
