I am not sure if there is a ethymological relationship:
You can find in the german month names
for July..........Heuert and
August.....Ernting

(Ernte german harvest , Heu=dry grass)
So the month name Heuert means Heu-ernte = hay-harvest
The german word for the season høst is Herbst.

Im Norway (where I actually am)
høst means both harvest an autumn/fall
and Heu-ernte/hay-harvest is høyonn
(onn....Time for work on the fields)
