not quite but almost...
My 5.5 may be a bit misleading - that is not ideal, but I have grown clover at that pH (like I said 6s are better).
Again, maybe you have gotten some more bad advice - putting fertilizer on low pH soils does little to no good - without the proper chemical balance/pH in the soil the fertilizer will do nothing - something to the effect that the nutrient reactions cannot happen without the proper pH (more technical than what I know or can explain)
also remember you are in a totally different region than me. that in itself will make a big difference in what you can and can't plant, when to plant, how to plant etc. (i don'y think it has any bearing on the lime/fertilizer recommendations?)
My last bit of advice, as I have stated before, go to you local ag/extension agent, Soil & Water office or NRCS people and and get some better, localized advice (unless they told you about the lime and fertilizer
)
have fun
