Is the idea to leave them as long as possible up until the frost, or is
it just as well to take them inside now?
If the stem is still full of sap and the weather is dry, leave them.
Once the stem shrivels, they will gain nothing. They WILL ripen
further, even picked, if left in the sun (preferably indoors),
though the sun is rapidly weakening.
