I think it looks really good morbid, you should be able to grow a nice pumpkin in that soil.
If youd wonna make sligt changes i,d suggest to look at base saturation. A bit more calcium, in the form of gypsum, wich would boost your low sulfur ppm to, to get the ca% up to 80% and maybe a tat of magnsium like epsom salt, but just a tat.
But even without any changes it woul be a nice soil to grow on.
