Default pH....too low for this year?

Just got my soil sample back and in one area where I am putting in a new garden the pH is 5.2. How is this going to affect my ability to grow vegetables and is there any way to raise it enough for this growing season? I have read that quite a few vegetables are ok in 5.5...to 6 or so. It has been suggested that I just put blueberries here but with limited space and areas of sunlight I need to have this for tomatoes, etc.... I know lime is an answer but will I be able to use the area this year or will I have to wait for the lime to raise the pH.
