The Middle Palindrome

If all the palindromes between 100 and 1000 were listed in order from smallest to largest, what is the average of the two numbers in the middle of the list?

NOTE: A palidrome is a number which reads the same forward and backward. For example, if you reverse the digits of 97279, you still have 97279.

Grapes on the Vine

The number of grapes on my grape vine is a three digit number. It is 7 times as much as the number of grapes on the vine last year, and 11 times the number of grapes on the vine the previous year. Next year, if I have twice as many grapes as I do this year, the number of grapes will still be a three digit number, but if I have three times as many grapes, the number of grapes will be a four digit number. If I have 21 times as many grapes, the number of grapes will be a five digit number.
