Theoretically growers north of me have an advantage over me because of longer sunlight hours during the summer days with less extreme heat. My question is at what point does that begin to shift and my days become longer than places north of me. My guess is it is long after the growing season but I am curious to know. There is probably a website or chart that has this info but I can’t find it.

Do you know your Latitude?

In a simple explanation, it like this
From March 21st until Sept, 21st give or take, anywhere North of you gets more daylight, From Sept 21st to March 21st, it is the reverse, you get more sun than anywhere North of you.
I believe the rule of thumb is 1 minutes for every 10 miles, but that's going from memory, and I'm getting old
