But, the land appeared, started to dray, and the first signs of plant-like activity were not too far behind (geologically speaking): Toward the end of the of the Archean Period and at the beginning of the Proterozoic Period, about 2.5 billion years ago, oxygen-forming photosynthesis began to occur. The first fossils, in fact, were a type of blue-green algae that could photosynthesize. – “Earth’s Beginnings: The Origin of Life” by Eric McLamb [...] […] As you will recall in my post “Creation of Dry Land“, Day 3 marked the beginning of Plate Tectonics, which was about 2.4 billion years ago, and removed the insurmountable hindrance to dry land.  Certainly the absence of land would constitute an insurmountable hindrance to the appearance of land-plants as well.
