I want to start preparing my backyard vegetable garden for planting here

How bad is it to rototill while the ground is still wet?

If your ground is almost entirely sand, not too bad. If it's anything
else, suicide. Not only will the immediate results dismay you, you'll have
to redo the job once the soil has properly dried.

Find something else to do while the soil dries.
