When I saw the modified subject line, my first thought was 'nowadays who would bring back grape seeds from Colorado?

I think the minimum fine is up to $600, but I may be wrong. Long time ago they would just confiscate, now there is the fine as well. They sometimes have beagles sniffing for food items. If they ever find something you did not declare, you will never, ever get Global Entry (I know of someone who had an item confiscated 10 years ago and Global Entry recently denied on the basis of that).

Pure accidental. Eating grapes on the bus and put seeds in a kleenex rather than the floor. Kleenex into pocket. Packed blouse, found when home washing the blouse.

Well, I thought grape might be a fun planter plant. I have no idea the root requirements of grapes but an interesting experiment.

Go for it!
Worst that can happen is they don't grow, or don't taste good. But the grape leaves could still be used to make Dolmas, and the grapes even if tart could make good jelly.

Since when in Colorado a foreign country needing customs declaration?

I carry an apple with me when I travel domestically as a snack without issue.

Great and fun genetics project, however!
