Is it worth mid-season tilling?

Emeoba69 · July 9, 2015

Due in part to traveling around the time I planted and continuous rainfall I never had a chance to till the hard clay soil in my Cincinnati garden this year. My plants are all stunted and my best guess is the hard soil. I am wondering if I could dig most of my plants out, till, and replant this late in the season to show any results? I have some pictures below as reference as their size when they went in the first week of May and today. Ive thought about tilling but it has really been non stop rain. In any case this year I have to amend the soil with some pine fines and/or compost at the end of the season!
