I don,t know of a chart for soil.Carrots should not have had a recent manuring as this can cause them to fork.Tomatoes prefer a more acidic soil but I think you can get away with it in the ground.Blueberry definitely needs acidic soil.
I am sure someone will be along soon who knows about a chart. ;D

Take a look at http://www.thegardenhelper.com/soilPH.htm

Quite a few common crops are listed and their ideal PH level.

Hope this helps.
