Rock hard desert soil

Hi everyone! I have a backyard with wonderful potential in a home I bought this winter. When I went back to start to work on growing some grass and some veggies, I tried to dig into the "soil" and it is literally as hard as cement. I tried to hack at it with a pick, and it started to dent the pick! I need help! How do I make the ground soft enough to even START conditioning it for growth?
