Question on sprinkler set up for garden

Hello all, I have a question on a sprinkler set up for the veggie garden. I was planning on running pvc pipe sections and then using 4 rainbird pop up sprinkler heads coming up off T's from the pvc pipe which I would run down the center of my garden. My garden is only 12 ft. wide so I am hoping this will cover the whole garden or real close. I am attaching this to a 5/8 garden hose. I only have a 2" well which seems to have decent water flow but I am wondering what diameter pvc pipe I should use? If I reduce down to 1/2" pvc will that give me more pressure for the sprinklers or should I go with 3/4" pvc and get more flow? Thanks for any help.

Use the 3/4 pipe.
