Default Pea crop failure?

I planted peas 5 weeks ago. They're just now starting to come up. So
far I've only seen only three seedlings out of whole packet of seeds.
I just noticed the third seedling today. What are the chances of the
rest of them coming up?

Good pea seed in good conditions will sprout in about 7-10 days. If things
are not right (eg the soil is too cold, too dry, the seed is bad, etc etc)
it will take longer or not happen at all. Without knowing what
conditions you planted them in or anything about the origin or quality of
the seed it is a guess.
