Welcom Vic, Nice handle!

Does the report include the CEC (Cation Exchande Capacity)? It would also be helpful to see the "Base Saturation" percentages of Calcium, Potassium & Magnesium.

The pH looks good. Plant to add organic matter before the ground freezes. And depending on the base saturation percentages, we might be looking for some Gypsum but we need that Magnesium level first.

That Mag level doesn't sound like a problem. I'd let the amendments you have already applied stew over winter. Come late winter, do another test but try to find a lab that offers a more complete analysis or ask the one you're using if they offer better tests.
