Other than the Sodium is a tad high (especially in Sample 6), all is pretty good. That's workable soil. Yeah, the OM could go up.
Curiosity: what happened to Sample Locations 7 and 8 ???

What about the phosphorus?
Is it normal for some to be that high? Im just use to seeing it much lower and hadn't seen that many come through here that high.

Re: Acceptable for Veggies?
I noticed it - some soils are very high in Phosphorus (mine is a four-digit number too!) Nothing you're going to do about it in your lifetime. Plants love it, but it can be something that affects the use of other nutrients.
Live with it - you could have bigger problems.
