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

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

DON'T DO IT!!! It will destroy your soil structure, turn it into a
bunch of clods and just make a mess and be a horror story to try to
control the tiller in it. It would be easier to just spade up what
you need for now if you must work it.
