53. Not Really
There's never a clear delineation in the 1st and 2nd New Deal, in terms of chronology, between the different efforts employed by FDR. There were relief, recovery, and reform efforts put in place simultaneously, and some were more successful than others. Most of the programs were instituted in the so-called "First 100 Days" of 1933. If anything, the larger and more systemic reforms tended to come a bit later.

The Federal Emergency Relief Agency, Civilian Conservation Corp, Agricultural Adjustment Administration, Public Works Administration, National Industrial Recovery Act, Glass-Steagall Act, and Tennessee Valley Authority got through Congress by the summer of 1933. When Roosevelt got a bigger Democratic majority in 1934, you had expansion of programs that were more successful, abandonment of programs that weren't working (most notably FERA, whose relief mission was taken over by the WPA), and the creation of new programs and regulations. The WPA, Security and Exchange Act, Social Security Act, National Labor Relations Act, etc.
