Leftwood said: If you are planting wam weather crops - tomatoes, beans, peppers, cucurbits, corn, eggplant, etc. then you can wait for spring to till at an appropriate time.
If you plant early crops - lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, radish, beets, carrots, spinach, cabbage, peas, onions, etc., then it's better to till in the fall to be ready in the early spring.
