Default Question on "Sweet Corn"

I have still got some (quite a lot) growing on my allotment
that have not ripened.
As the weather is now getting colder, is there still time for
it to ripen ??
or is there a way that it can be picked and ripened at home ??
(like tomatoes')

The plants are going brown and seem to be dying off.

Any help would be appreciated.

Wally

I had some late sweet corn last summer, in the ground till about May. I got
a few cobs off them. Pick one off and try it out. My corn was ok even into
late autumn, just limited yields. If you don't need the space just leave it
there until it is beyond hope.
