Produce Containers
Once your crops are ready to be harvested, you can place your produce in the different containers to store them. Be sure to have the following in your inventory:
Vegetable Sack
Fruit Basket
These items can either be bought from a Farming Shop, or crafted on a Loom located in Sarah's Farming Shop at the old farm south of Falador.
Vegetable sacks are made of 4 Jute Fibres grown by planting Jute seeds in a Hops plot.
Fruit baskets are made by pruning a young willow tree that you have grown and obtaining 6 branches.

Other Events & Items
There are a few events and helpful things that may help you out while Farming.
Tool Damage
Just like in woodcutting, your rake head will fly off the handle and you will have to repair it by putting the pieces back together. If you can't find the rake head, buy another rake from any of the stores listed above.

Nature Amulet
A Nature Amulet will allow you to hear about the quality of your crops. You will be able to go and work on other skills and your Nature Amulet can tell you your crop's progress when you rub it. Nature Amulets have unlimited rubbing charges.
You can only have one Nature Amulet at a time. When you attempt to enchant an amulet you have just crafted, a message will appear blocking your magic. A Nature Amulet can only be used on one patch at a time.
To make one of these useful amulets, you'll need to craft an Emerald Amulet unstrung and obtaining some Magic String from the roots of a grown Magic Tree. The Magic String can be spun on a spinning wheel. Attach the Magic String to the Emerald Amulet and enchant it. If your farming level or crafting level is not high enough to make an amulet, you can buy a Pre-Nature Amulet from other players. Once you have a Pre-Nature Amulet, use the Emerald Enchant spell to transform it into a Nature Amulet. Once it is enchanted, it is untradable.
Capt' Arnav
He will come and tell you that you are planting seeds in a place where he buried treasure and will ask you for help with opening the chest. A puzzle screen will pop up with 3 columns (up and down) and may have 3 rotating items in each column:
Gold Necklace
Gold Ring
Gold Bar
Coins
At the bottom of each column will be the word of the item you will need to move into the middle row. Use the cursors at the top and bottom to move that named item into the middle of each column and unlock the chest. For helping him, he will give you a token of thanks and be gone. If you do not help him he will teleport you away. For more info, check the Random Events guide.
