And where is THAT in the Torah? 
IOW How would the zadokim know? 
Maybe Aviv happens in the middle or end of the hodesh ho'aviv?                      
The simple read is the omer is from the reishis - kinda like b ikkurim.
When it happens THEN the process is triggered!

As far as yehoshua goes - NU so THAT year ketzira was on that date!
