OK, lets take it apart bit by bit.....
Gen 2:1, 2..."So the creation of the heavens and the earth and everything in them was completed. 2 On the seventh day God had finished his work of creation, so he rested from all his work. "
No problem so far.....6 days of creation followed by a rest period.
"3 And God blessed the seventh day and declared it holy, because it was the day when he rested from all his work of creation.
4 This is the account of the creation of the heavens and the earth."
When the Lord God made the earth and the heavens,
5 neither wild plants nor grains were growing on the earth. For the Lord God had not yet sent rain to water the earth, and there were no people to cultivate the soil.
6 Instead, springs came up from the ground and watered all the land."
It has already been stated that 6 days of creation have been accounted for and also now a rest day that followed, so here we are going back to the creation when there were no plants and no one to cultivate the soil to state that God had a system in place to water the vegetation, before he even made it. Genius!
7 "Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the mans nostrils, and the man became a living person."
Where does it say man was made on the first day?
8, 9 "Then the Lord God planted a garden in Eden in the east, and there he placed the man he had made. 9 The Lord God made all sorts of trees grow up from the groundtrees that were beautiful and that produced delicious fruit. In the middle of the garden he placed the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil."
And we know the rest....or I hope we do.
So now I am going to ask you what needs to be reconciled? What am I missing here?
