Your pH should be closer to 6.5, 6.2 on the low end. Everything that's high in your chart is insanely high. I'd recommend looking at a few things including the surrounding trees (nearby pine or walnut trees, for example) and water runoff (where is any runoff water into your garden coming from).

The good thing here is that if this is related to anything you've added (not necessarily fertilizer but anything that changes the levels without actually amending the soil) should be gone by next growing season. This is why you're told to amend your soil instead of adding things like fertilizers (as those just mask problems).

Normally, I'd recommend adding some ash to increase the phosphorus but your ph is already too acidic.

It is near a ton of pine. Directly next to oak trees. I did not fertilize that, but i do my potted plants. This is certainly not related to fertilizer, I mixed in some pete moss after clearing the grass, so this is a very accurate soil sample I took 4 inches deep
