Almost got the pump system figured out

So I'm watering my plants from a pond that's like 500 feet away, and I've only got 2 plants. I think I'm gunna buy the 12 volt 300 Gph pump from harbor freight (unless y'all have a better pump to suggest), i need one that'l hook up to a battery, noise isn't really a problem. I need to set up some sort of timer out here because ill be gone on vacation for a week and it's random what time of the days that I'm home. Would it be fine to just buy a timer from Home Depot? I don't really know much about watering system, I've read up on a few but it's all really confusing to me lol I figure I could just hook up a soaker hose attached to a timer maybe? But then would that mean I'd have to pump a shitload of water before I leave or what? Thanks
