Default Did I lime it enough?

I planted some small plots back in the timber this year, and had no way to get a lime truck near them. I had done soil samples a while back on a couple of them, and it suggested 6TONS PER ACRE!!! In a couple of these plots, they are only about 25 yds across, and mostly round or rectangular. In the plots if this size I put on 400-450 lbs of pelletized lime. The ground was completely covered. Do you think this is enough lime for the plots to grow well, I planted Biologic Green Patch Plus, Shot Plot, Buck Forage Oats, Secret Spot, something called Rack Maker??, and some forage turnips. Has anyone used any of these products, and do you think they will grow with the amount of lime I used. I plan to fertilize when plants get about an inch or so tall. Thanks
