Genesis 2 is not introducing a new creation day but rewinding to describe the condition of the land before rain and before man began farming, which is why it speaks of “plants of the field” not yet growing.
Thorns appear later, after Eve eats the forbidden fruit, when God curses the ground:
“Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee” (Genesis 3:18).
This is not a separate act of creation. Scripture doesn’t give an exact date for this, only that it occurs after the seventh day when God rests, and before Adam begets Seth at age 130 (Genesis 5:3).
