I want to start preparing my backyard vegetable garden for planting here
in suburban Boston, but we've had quite a bit of rain in the last week.
How bad is it to rototill while the ground is still wet?


If this is your first garden and you're planting over "lawn", you need
to dig up the sod before you till.

Tilling wet ground is a sticky mess; better to wait until it dries a
bit.
