So, I was thinking why not edit the Farming guide I made here and make it a little more complete.
To start off with there are 7 specific things you need to keep in mind while farming: Flowers, Herbs, Trees, Fruit trees, Specials, Allotments and Hops.
I'll give you a closer look on each of the 7.
FlowersFarm patch locations for flowers: Catherby, Draynor, Phasmatys, Ardougne, Wildy lvl 22 (limpwurt only)
Name/Lvl to plant/Seeds to plant/Time to grow/Xp for Planting/Xp for Picking
Marigold/Lvl 2/1 seed needed/17.5 mins/8.5 xp/47 xp
Rosemary/Lvl 11/1 seed needed/17.5 mins/12 xp/66.5xp
Nasturtium/lvl 24/1 seed/17.5mins/19.5 xp/111 xp
Woad/lvl 25/1 seed/17.5 mins/20.5xp/115.5xp
Limpwurt/lvl 26/1 seed/17.5 mins/21.5xp/120 xp
White lily/lvl 52/1 seed/120 mins/50 xp/250 xp
What are these flowers used for?Flowers are used to protect allotments, check down to know which flower protect which allotment(s)
Marigold protects Onions, tomatoes and potatoes
Rosemary protects cabbage
Scarecrow protects Sweetcorn
Nasturtiums protect watermelon
White lily protects All fruits and vegetables.
AllotmentsLocations: Catherby, Draynor, Phasmatys, Ardougne
Name/Lvl to plant/Seeds to plant/Time to grow/Xp for Planting/Xp for Picking/payment
Potatoes/lvl 1/3 seeds/40 mins/8 xp/9 xp/ 2 buckets of compost
Onions/lvl 5/3 seeds/40 mins/9.5 xp/10.5 xp/ 1 sack of potatoes
Cabbage/lvl 7/3 seeds/35 mins/10 xp/ 11.5 xp/ 1 sack of onions
Tomatoes/lvl 12/3 seeds/40 mins/12.5 xp/14 xp/2 sacks of cabba
Sweetcorn/lvl 20/3 seeds/55 mins/17 xp/19 xp/ 10 jute fibres
Strawberries/lvl 31/3 seeds/55 mins/26 xp/29 xp/ 1 basket of apples
Watermelon/lvl 47/ 3 seeds/75 mins/48.5xp/54.5 xp/ 10 leaves of curry
=> Handy tip from Winter: With doing the allotment run to all 4 locations, doing marigold, toadflax and watermelons (supercompost and payments) it really varies between 5-10k xp per trip. I usually average about 7k but the amount of xp you get mainly relies on how many watermelons you yield. For example, during this farm run 2 herb patches and 1 flower patch had dead toadflax and marigold but I got 150 watermelons in total (quite rare for me to get this many) and I got 9.7k xp.
HopsEven though not many people farm hops i'll just add the 'table' here.

Mister Mathi 99 farming guide (no money lose)Useful extrasAmulet of NatureThe Amulet of Nature is used to help you keep track of one of your farming patches. But do note that you can only have one amulet of nature at a time. You can bind the amulet to any patch simply by using it on the patch itself. You can manually check the status of your crop in this patch by rubbing the amulet. If you are wearing the amulet, you will receive a message (and hear a distinctive tone) telling you whenever your plant is either diseased, dead, or ready to pick. Note that your plant will only die if you do not react rapidly enough when it tells you the crop is diseased, or if you are logged out and miss the opportunity. Here are some instructions on how to make the Amulet of Nature:
1.First smelt a gold bar from some gold ore and then use an emerald on the furnace (carrying the gold bar and an amulet mould), and make an emerald amulet.
2.Now use a spun magic root on the amulet to finish it (magic roots require Lvl 75 farming to grow). This item is still tradeable.
3.Use the spell that is normally used for enchanting Lvl 2 amulets (emeralds) on it.
4.The finished (enchanted) Amulet of Nature is non-tradeable, but you can buy an emerald amulet strung with a magic root before it is enchanted (note that the string will look different.)
Scroll of LifeThe Scroll of life is a reward from the Dungeoneering skill. It can be bought from the rewards trader for 10000 Dungeoneering tokens. Once used, the scroll will disappear, giving you the following permanent benefit: when harvesting patches (including dead ones), you have a 10% chance of receiving your seeds back. You will also gain a 5% chance of getting a tree seed back from a dead tree.
Note that when you are refunded a herb seed, it will not always be of the same type as the herb seed you initially planted.
Livid FarmFor those Farmers seeking an additional method of training, it might be worth checking out the Livid Farm on Lunar Isle. Utilizing quick-clicking and the Lunar Magicks spellbook, this fast-paced minigame involves helping out a local farmer, named Pauline Polaris, who has gotten in a little bit over her head! You must help Pauline with fertilizing and curing a new strain of the wild Jade vine, fixing up broken fences when aggressive Suqahs attack, and re-energizing Pauline when she becomes drained and exhausted.
For those dedicated Farmers who help out, you will gain Produce Points with which you can unlock up to 8 new Lunar spells, purchase 6 different "Wishes" that grant special abilities for a certain amount of time, as well as receive runes, Agility, Crafting, Construction, Farming and Magic XP.
