So now I’m sitting here with a bag of lime still wanting to add it
A pH of 6 is acidic. You want it as close to 7 which is neutral. So add the lime, it will help. Some plants like acidic soil like blueberries, azealas, etc. But most garden veggies prefer as close to 7 as you can get. If the pH is ever to high, then you add some aluminum sulfate. It will lower the pH. That's what you place around blueberries and azealas.
pH Scale 0-6 Acidic, 7 Neutral, 8-14 Basic

I added the lime. Yea as far as blueberries I actually am good at growing those I use a MG plant feed for acid loving plants
