Check the cap about once a month till you can get a feel for how long you can go in between cleanings.
As for the chimney itself, you should be goof for the season, with maybe the need for a cleaning in the middle somewhere.
Monitor cap & chimney and adjust you cleaning schedule as needed.
 
Can you pull your singlewall pipe? I've always seen more creosote in the pipe than in the chimney. But that's just my limited experience. If the pipe is clean, the chimney has been clean also.
