i would say wait at least one more month....6-12 months is recommended but i suggest wait at least 3 (if you can of course). You probably wanna look at your credit report and see how many total inquiries you had in the past 6 months prior to your last application.

Stay in the garden as long as you can! I have the itch bad but I'm going to wait a while.
