Is the idea to leave them as long as possible up until the frost, or is

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.

See if you can stick your thumb nail through the skin, if not they are
ripe, but if you can break the skin then they need more time to ripen
