Ah yes: "Post coitum omne animal triste."

Tami Whitehead pointed out the Gravesean 13-month lunar calendar in THE
WHITE GODDESS.  Yes, precisely: the thing is there, already made, with
names (based on trees like "Wild Apple") and dates and spine-tingling
festivals.  Part and parcel of the big Graves "White Goddess" package.  And
I do not detect any details pointing towards such a system in TAD.
