vine turning yellow and watering questions.

I have relatively short vines on my plant (12-24 inches) I have noticed on a
few plants they are turning yellow and the new growth is yellow. The leaves
are all green but the vine is green near the plant then fading to yellow as it
vines. Is this normal? Like I have said before this is my first year so I
excuse me if this is obvious. I also have a question on watering. Do most
people use sprinklers or drip. I use drip in most of my veggie garden, I  have
not set up anything in the patch yet. It seems like it would be a little tough
to cover a whole patch this way. When I water with sprinklers though the
leaves block a lot of the soil. I know it will eventually drip off the leaves,
but it will also evaporate. What kind of setups do the other people here have?
Any help would of course be appreciated.
