Not if we evaluate the Hebrew.
Except that for your argument to work, the creation account in Genesis 2 would have to have the creation of all the *other* uncultivated plants after the creation of man as well. Otherwise the second account, according to you, would end up with a world which only has cultivated plants on it.
