Reading edition
These beds (as we should now call them) were called "tables" or "plots"—
"Mark out the tables, ichon by hem selve Sixe foote in brede, and xii in length is beste To clense and make on evey side honest."
Palladius on Husbandrie, i. 116.
"Note this generally that all plots are square."—Lawson's New Orchard, p. 60.
